Tiling for homes in Putney.
Looking for tiling in Putney? J.C General Builders is a family-run father-and-son team — James and Callum Weir — covering Putney and the rest of London. The people who quote your job are the people who turn up and do it.
Tiling problems almost always start behind the tile: an unlevel substrate, the wrong adhesive, or tanking that was skipped in a wet area. We prep properly — boarding, levelling, priming and tanking — before the first tile goes up.
Large-format porcelain, natural stone, mosaic, metro and patterned floor tiles: set out from the centre lines that matter, cut cleanly around fittings, and grouted and silicone-sealed to a neat finish.
The housing stock is mostly Victorian and Edwardian terraces plus 1930s semis, so we're usually dealing with London stock brick, side-return extensions, loft and kitchen refurbishments, small rear gardens re-laid in porcelain or reclaimed flags, and drainage that hasn't been touched in fifty years. Party Wall notices and Building Regs get sorted before the tools come out.

Our process on every Putney job.
Substrate check
We check the wall or floor is flat, sound and suitable, and board, level or prime it where it isn't.
Set out
Dry-laid and set out so cuts land where they look deliberate, not awkward corners of half tiles.
Fix
Correct adhesive for the tile and substrate, full-bed on large format, consistent joint spacing throughout.
Grout and seal
Grouted, cleaned off and silicone sealed to internal corners and junctions.
Tiling in Putney — common questions
- Can you tile over existing tiles?
- Sometimes — if the existing tiles are sound, flat and well bonded. More often it's better to take them off and start with a proper substrate, and we'll tell you which one your job needs.
- Do you supply the tiles?
- You can supply your own or we can source them. Either way we'll advise on quantities so you're not short mid-job or paying for three spare boxes.
- Do wet rooms need tanking?
- Yes, always. Any fully wet area gets a proper tanking system before tiling — it isn't an optional extra.
