Harbour Tiling services Epping from a West Ryde base.

This page is designed to answer the practical questions that matter before you get quotes: prep, waterproofing sequencing, layout planning, and (where relevant) apartment access logistics.

Quick actions


What usually changes scope in Epping

  • What’s under the existing surface (concrete, timber, old tiles)
  • Wet-area history (previous leaks, unknown waterproofing)
  • Tile size and finish (large format needs flatter substrates)
  • Access constraints (parking, deliveries, strata rules)

Local notes (what usually matters in Epping)

  • Mixed stock (older houses + newer apartments): the biggest variable is what is under the existing surface (timber vs concrete).
  • Large-format tiles demand flatter substrates; prep scope is often what changes the quote.
  • If you are in an apartment, confirm lift/parking rules early so the schedule is realistic.
