If you want to work as a tiler, the minimum requirement is a CAP (vocational training certificate) in tiling and mosaics, which takes two years to complete after the third year of secondary school at a vocational school or CFA (apprentice training centre), or one year if you already have a CAP or a level V diploma. You can also opt for training leading to a baccalaureate diploma: BAC pro building development and finishing, BP painter coating applicator or BP tiling-mosaic (2 years after the CAP plus 2 years' experience in the field). Those who wish to pursue higher education can prepare for a BTS AF (fitting and finishing) at BAC+2 level or a licence pro métiers du BTP option bâtiment et construction.

The tiler carries out all work relating to floor coverings as part of a construction or renovation project. He intervenes after the other workers to give aesthetics to a building by laying decorative and functional tiles in the living room, kitchen or bathroom, laminate, solid or floating parquet in the bedrooms or flooring in various rooms. He is also called upon to lay waxed concrete, stone or PVC tiles.

A tiler can be called in if you want to replace your bathroom floor because it is out of date or your kitchen floor to refresh it. They can also be called in to improve thermal insulation in bedrooms by laying carpeting, for example, or false flooring on top of a traditional stone floor.

To find a tiler, you can use an online directory such as StarOfService. Just follow the instructions to get in touch with many craftsmen in your region or city and interview several of them, then select the professional who will carry out your flooring work.

The cost of laying flooring will depend mainly on the type of flooring and the difficulty of the installation. The tiler generally applies a rate per m² of installation: between €15 and €20 for a PVC floor or carpet, €20 to €50 for tiles, €15 to €50 for parquet or €40 to €60 for waxed concrete. These are only the labour costs. You will also need to take into account the price of the flooring itself, which varies between €3 and €220 per square metre. In some cases, levelling (preparation work) is required, which can increase the price: between €20 and €40 per square metre.

One way of doing this is to turn to your friends and family when you want to use the services of a tiler.
