A diploma is not a basic requirement for working as a tiler. However, tiler-oriented courses are offered in construction schools and other vocational training organisations. According to the Observatoire du BTP, you can start as a tiler by: a CAP/BEP mosaic tiler: a diploma prepared in a vocational high school for 2 years or in alternating courses after the 3rd year of secondary school; a Bac Pro mosaic tiling or Bac Pro building layout and finishing; experience as a beginner craftsman in a tiling company

First of all, the tiler must analyse the surface to be covered: he takes measurements, assesses the condition of the surface and defines the preliminary work to be carried out, determines the materials needed, the number of tiles, the patterns to be made (with an estimate of the cost). Then he begins the installation phase: the tiler removes the previous covering, smoothes the surface, and uses a toothed spatula and a trowel to lay the underlying materials such as adhesive and cement. He then lays the tiles according to the installation plan. During construction, he cuts the tiles, an action he performs using manual or workshop machines (tile cutters, tile cutters, saws, etc.), which requires a great deal of skill and know-how on the part of a tiler. At the end of the installation process, he or she carries out the finishing work: laying joints between the tiles and cleaning the site to obtain the final surface. A tiler may also be required to carry out other related construction work, such as removing or constructing sections of walls or plasterboard walls, installing other types of wall and floor coverings such as plaster, brick, marble, parquet or carpet.

You'd think it would be easy to line up squares on the floor or walls of a bathroom. But make no mistake, it's not in vain that people learn this trade to make themselves what they are. Tiling is a science, and it takes time, patience and skill to do it. A professional tiler will be able to meet your needs and find solutions to all your problems. Before embarking on such work, you should be aware that the professional has equipment that is covered by insurance. This is to avoid unpleasant surprises.

The tiler is a craftsman who specialises in tiling and all work related to this covering is carried out by him. Whatever the surface (floor or wall) and the location (bathroom, kitchen, outside...), you can call on this tiling specialist. He can also be contacted to remove old or damaged coverings. When installing tiles, a tiler may also be needed to level floors, make screeds or repair damaged walls.

It all depends on your situation. When you are going to build a house and you can turn to a house builder or a developer, the project manager or project manager takes care of the selection of the craftsmen, including the tiler. This is the easiest solution, as builders generally work with craftsmen they know and hire for their professionalism. Looking for a tiler for a renovation project? Start asking your friends and family if they know a good tiler. Word of mouth is often the best way to find professionals. Of course, you can also find tilers online. For example, you can request several quotes via a platform dedicated to construction work.

The average cost of tiling is between €25 and €55, depending on the type of installation, the area to be covered, the accessibility of the site and, of course, the type of tile used. Some tilers set their fees according to the surface area of the tiles to be laid. The cost per square metre depends on where the tile is installed, the size of the area and many other factors. Examples of prices include: shower and bath tiling with a 2.5 metre ceiling: €1,450; the same room, but with wall tiling up to a 3 metre ceiling: €1,650

Do not hesitate to ask about what the company has done in the past and to consult customer reviews on the internet. Here again, compare quotes from several tradesmen. Rely on the certification of your tiler: for floor insulation, prefer ECOArtisan or RGE Qualibat certified professionals. A professional tiler is a technician who is an expert in his field, but he is also able to guide you in your choice of materials. Choose a craftsman who listens to your requirements, both aesthetically and technically. The company you call can provide you with a solution or advise you not to use a type of flooring that is not suited to your needs. The tiler will give you advice on the maintenance of all types of surfaces: tiles, cement tiles, terracotta tiles, etc. or on the perfect covering for your underfloor heating system.

The first meeting with a professional can be stressful. To ensure that the meeting goes smoothly, prepare a list of important questions to ask: How much does the project cost? How long will the work take? What have you done before? What types of materials do you offer? Are you working alone or in a team? Etc.
