At Leerberg Tiling we specialise in the areas of bathroom tiling, floor and wall tiling, natural stone tiling, kitchen splashbacks, tile repairs and licensed waterproofing for homes across the Hills District. We are a family owned business with over 53 years in the tiling trade, fully licensed and insured, and we do all the work ourselves rather than sending subcontractors.

Tiling Across the Hills District

  • The Hills District is a region of large homes, big blocks and a lot of new building, and that shapes the tiling work here.
  • Suburbs like Castle Hill, Glenhaven, Dural and Kenthurst are known for spacious, often prestige homes on large and sometimes sloping or acreage blocks, while the north west growth corridor through Box Hill, Rouse Hill and North Kellyville is filling with brand new estates and knock-down-rebuilds.
  • The ground across the Hills is Wianamatta shale weathering to reactive clay, frequently rated Class H1 or H2, so floors and slabs move with the seasons unless that is allowed for.
  • A page that just swaps a suburb name in cannot speak to homes of this scale on this kind of ground.
  • We tile both the established prestige homes and the new builds, from large-format stone floors through to fresh slabs in new estates, and we prepare each according to what the site and the soil actually need.

The Local Ground: Reactive Clay and Large Sloping Blocks

  • The reactive clay across the Hills moves enough to crack tiles and split grout where a floor was laid without allowance for it, so on Hills floors we use crack isolation and uncoupling membranes, set movement joints, and check and re-screed levels before laying.
  • Many Hills homes also sit on large or sloping blocks with level changes and terracing, and big open floor areas where large-format tiles show every dip.
  • Flat, well-prepared substrates are what make those floors last.

Areas We Cover

  • We tile right across the Hills District, and several areas have their own page with the local detail that matters there:
  • Castle Hill, Glenhaven and Dural, prestige homes on large and acreage blocks
  • Box Hill, Rouse Hill and Kellyville, the new estate and knock-down-rebuild corridor
  • We also work in Baulkham Hills, Bella Vista, Norwest, Cherrybrook and the surrounding suburbs.
  • If you are not sure whether we cover your area, give us a call and ask.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you tile large and prestige homes? Yes. The Hills has many large homes, and we lay natural stone, large-format and feature tiling to the standard these homes call for.

Why do floors crack in the Hills District? The Hills sits on reactive shale clay that swells and shrinks with the seasons, which can crack tiles laid straight onto the slab. We use crack isolation membranes and movement joints to deal with it.

Do you tile new builds and knock-down-rebuilds? Yes, much of the new estate work across Box Hill, Rouse Hill and Kellyville is first tiling in new homes, and we tile to fresh engineered slabs.

Do you do tiling on sloping blocks? Yes. Many Hills homes step across sloping blocks with level changes, and we set out and re-screed across those so tiles sit flat.
