Unfortunately it is not as easy as quoting a price per square metre for these floors and we highly recommend not buying from a company that offers to sell them by the square metre as you could be under or oversold tiles. For example, take two floors, one is 3x4m and the other is 2x6m. Both floors are 12sq.m but the longer 2x6m floor has a border that is two metres longer. That's two metres worth of tiles you could be missing.
This is two metres worth of chequer border - how many tiles would be missing from your order in the above example.
For a rough and quick price we have a quick quote facility on our Victorian Floors website where you can enter some room dimensions and choose from one of the popular pattern and border combinations, submit the form from our website and we will be able to quote you quite quickly.
Once you have a rough price, the next step is to email us a sketch of the area to be tiled as if looking down from above and include the measurements of all the lengths going around the area as shown below. Your sketch / drawing does not have to be to scale or very neat, we just need to understand the shape of the area to be tiled, the important thing is please try to measure accurately and don’t miss anything off. Include doorways if they are deep enough to need tiling and let us know if the measurements include skirting.
Unlike our competitors who price these tiles by giving you a price per square metre and adding some for waste, we actually design your floor using CAD software. This is extremely helpful for everyone involved for many reasons:
1. It allows us to quote you correctly and accurately, and spot any problem areas where the tiler might have to make awkward cuts. We can point these out to you, the tiler and alter the design if necessary.
2. It allows you to see the design before you order
There are other advantage too - a scale drawing allows to see where we can make handy replacements in the supply of your tiles. For example, we can swap squares around the edge of the border with triangles that do not need to be cut, giving you a neater finish and saving your tiler time.
Please be aware that our drawings are based on your measurements, if the finished floor is incorrect, unsatisfactory based on incorrect or changing measurements we are not liable. We also supply the tiles based on your measurements so please make sure they are correct.
We have designed and supplied hundreds if not thousands of period Victorian, Edwardian and Minton-style tiles over decades. View our Testimonials Page or search us on Google for peace of mind before you order!
