Tilers work in a range of residential and commercial spaces where they cover walls, ceilings and floors. Professional tiling contractors are primarily needed in household settings where customers need them to retile communal areas like the kitchen and bathroom.

However, they can also be employed for large commercial projects. For example, some tilers are hired to tile outdoor areas and restore mosaics. Due to the amount of innovation involved, expert tilers need an advanced sense of design. This is something they learn from thorough experience and training.
