Start with the actual surface
Room photos and an on-site check, when needed, help identify flatness, movement, moisture exposure, existing finishes and transitions that may affect preparation.
About Mallet Tile
Tile work planned around the whole room.
Mallet Tile installs the tile selected for bathrooms, showers, floors, backsplashes, fireplaces and feature surfaces. We begin with the receiving surface, the actual material and every edge or transition the finished work needs to meet.
How we approach the work
The visible finish begins with decisions below and around the tile.
A useful conversation does more than name the room. It brings the tile, surface, layout, access and connected trades into one scope so important assumptions do not stay hidden.
Use the selected material
Tile dimensions, thickness, pattern and edge details influence layout, handling, cuts and the products used to set it.
Settle the visible lines
Doorways, drains, niches, cabinets, outlets and adjoining floors belong in the layout discussion before material is cut.
Separate connected work
Plumbing, electrical, structural, cabinetry and other responsibilities should be identified clearly rather than folded into the tile scope by assumption.
From enquiry to installation
A clear path from the first photos to the written estimate.
Each stage resolves a different part of the project. The sequence stays flexible when an existing condition needs a closer look.
- 01
Share the room and material
Send the address, room photos, measurements, selected tile if known and a plain-language description of what is changing.
- 02
Define the installation scope
Review preparation, demolition, layout, edges, transitions, access and the parts that may belong to another trade.
- 03
Confirm open decisions
Resolve the details that affect cuts, joint positions, drains, niches, thresholds and the finished handoff.
- 04
Review the written estimate
Read what is included, what still needs confirmation and the next step before installation dates are chosen.
A useful starting point
Show us the room as it is, not only the finish you want.
Wide room photos, close views of the receiving surface and transitions, measurements and the tile information give the estimate useful context. If you are still choosing material, say so; the scope can record what remains open without pretending it is already settled.

Questions to settle before the next step.
Use these answers as a starting point, then share the details that are specific to the actual project.
Does Mallet Tile sell tile?
No. Mallet Tile installs the material you select. We can discuss how tile size, thickness, pattern and edge details affect the installation, but the material purchase remains separate.
Which kinds of tile work can I ask about?
The estimate pathway covers bathrooms, tiled showers, floors, kitchen backsplashes, fireplaces, heated tile floors, mosaics, large-format tile and porcelain slab installation.
What should I send with an enquiry?
Send the project address, overall room photos, close views of the existing surface and transitions, measurements, tile details if known, access information and the parts of the room you want included.
What if plumbing, electrical or structural work is also changing?
Identify that work at the start. The written scope should separate tile installation from responsibilities that need another qualified trade or a separate approval.
Bring the room, tile and open questions together.
Share the material, measurements and project details. We will begin with a written estimate.
