Lay tiles

Title: Lay ~21m² Outdoor Porcelain Slabs Over Existing Patio (All Materials Supplied) – SE18 Task Description: Looking for an experienced landscaper, tiler, or paver to lay 20mm cream outdoor porcelain slabs (900x600mm) directly over our existing, solid grey concrete patio slabs in Woolwich (SE7). Job Details: • Total Area: Approx. 21m² across two connected sections (main side walkway + small seating area). I have ordered 23m² of slabs to cover cuts and wastage. • Materials Supplied: Everything will be on-site ready for you before you start—porcelain slabs, sharp sand, cement, SBR primer, porcelain slurry primer, 5mm tile spacers, exterior silicone, recessed manhole tray (600x450mm), and brush-in jointing compound. • Tools Required: Please bring your own wet saw or angle grinder with a continuous-rim diamond porcelain blade, paddle/cement mixer, spirit levels, rubber mallet, and standard paving tools. • Site Prep: I will clear all pots, garden furniture, and loose items, and pressure-wash the existing concrete slabs beforehand. Key Requirements (Essential): • Existing grey slabs are solid and level; lay new porcelain directly on top on a full 30–40mm mortar bed (strictly no dot-and-dab). • Brush porcelain slurry primer onto the back of every slab before laying, and prime the old concrete with SBR. • Maintain a slight drainage fall away from the house walls toward the existing drains, keeping well below the damp proof course. • Neat cuts required around two small gully drains, one central manhole cover (recessed tray provided), and one round wooden post (with a small silicone expansion gap).
