Floor tiling is one of the most popular home improvement projects in the UK. Understanding typical costs helps you budget effectively and assess the quotes you receive.
Average Floor Tiling Costs per m2
Labour costs typically range from 25 to 45 per m2 depending on tile size, pattern complexity and location.
| Tile Type | Supply (per m2) | Labour (per m2) | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ceramic | 5-25 | 25-35 | 30-60 |
| Porcelain | 15-60 | 30-45 | 45-105 |
| Natural Stone | 30-120 | 35-55 | 65-175 |
Typical Room Costs
A standard kitchen floor of around 10m2 tiled in mid-range porcelain typically costs 600-900 including supply and labour. A hallway of 5m2 with ceramic tiles often comes in at 250-450.
Factors That Affect the Price
Prep work such as removing old tiles or levelling an uneven subfloor adds cost. Herringbone and diagonal patterns take longer and may incur a 20-30% premium. Underfloor heating installation also adds to the project cost.
London and South East Premiums
Labour rates in London and the South East typically run 15-25% higher than in the Midlands or North. Always get at least two or three quotes to ensure you are paying a fair local rate.
