Harbour Tiling services Lidcombe 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 Lidcombe

  • 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 Lidcombe)

  • Mixed building types: treat every quote as a scope document (prep + waterproofing + setout), not just a price.
  • If the floor is timber-framed, movement control and sheeting/underlay decisions often drive longevity.
  • If the job is in a unit block, access planning reduces delays (parking, delivery windows, waste disposal).
