Rules and training to check

None of the rules we found names a licence for tilers in South Africa. Training is available: a two-week course costs about R 6,500, and a ten-day wall and floor course about R 7,000. One installation course is priced at R 1,380 including VAT, so check whether each quote includes VAT as well.

Season and timing

Tiling is mostly indoor work, so the weather matters less than in outdoor trades. The seasons still shape the schedule: summer runs from December to February, winter from June to August, and November is late spring. Agree the start date in the offer, once the plaster and any wet-area work are ready.

How tiling is priced and bought

Tilers quote per square metre of floor or wall, and a bathroom floor takes a professional about six to eight hours to lay. Large-format tiles and mosaics cost more, and diagonal or pattern layouts add 30 to 50 per cent according to one estimate. Ask whether the quote covers wet-area waterproofing and the tiles themselves.

What to write in the request

Give the type of work (floor, wall, large-format or mosaic), the area in square metres, and your city. Add the pay you expect per m² or per day, the schedule, the years of experience you need, whether you want a contract or an employed tiler, and whether you supply your own tools. Include the tile size in cm if you already have the tiles.
