Kitchen Tiling & Splashbacks in Gravesend

Ask on any Gravesend local Facebook group for a kitchen tiling recommendation and you will get a long thread of competing opinions and a handful of names that keep coming up. That is the Gravesend market for kitchen tiling — high demand, plenty of people offering the service, and a local community that vets tradespeople actively through word of mouth.

In that context, a tiler's track record matters more than a price claim. Gee Evlat has been tiling kitchens in Gravesend and across the Gravesham area for a decade, and his 89-review 100% recommendation rate on Facebook is the clearest available summary of what working with him is like.

Gravesend's kitchen stock is as varied as its housing. The Victorian terraces near the town centre — characterised by rear-of-house kitchens that are sometimes narrow, with original brick walls behind the hob and suspended timber floors — require a tiler who can handle the complications of old buildings: floors that need boarding over, walls that need a lime-compatible primer, old pipe runs that sit where the tile layout wants to go.

The newer developments on the Gravesend outskirts have different needs: larger open-plan kitchen-diners where the floor tile choice anchors the whole room's aesthetic, often with underfloor heating beneath porcelain. And the 1930s and post-war housing in between has its own mix of original features and twentieth-century updates that a skilled tiler reads and works with rather than forcing a standard approach onto.

Gee has worked in all of these. He brings the same process to each: proper substrate assessment, a dry-run layout before any tile is cut, and honest advice about what will work.
