Tiling Across the St George Area

The St George area, running from Hurstville and Kogarah down to the Georges River and Botany Bay, has a tiling profile shaped by two things: reactive clay and a fast-growing apartment core.
Most of the area north of the river sits on Wianamatta shale that weathers into reactive clay, rated medium to high, so floors and slabs move with the seasons unless that is allowed for.
At the same time, Hurstville and Kogarah form one of southern Sydney’s largest mid-rise redevelopment corridors, with unit towers going up across the centre, while the foreshore suburbs along the Georges River and Botany Bay bring water-frontage blocks.
A page that just swaps a suburb name in cannot speak to that mix of clay floors and high-rise strata.
We tile across the area, from unit bathrooms in the Hurstville and Kogarah towers to houses on reactive clay and foreshore homes along the bay, and we prepare each for the ground and the building it sits in.

Reactive Clay Floors and Apartment Strata

The reactive clay across St George moves enough to crack tiles and split grout where a floor was laid straight onto a moving slab, so on floors we use crack isolation and uncoupling membranes, set movement joints, and check and re-screed levels before laying.
In the apartment towers of Hurstville and Kogarah, the work shifts to unit bathrooms and strata, where a waterproofing failure tracks straight into the unit below.
There we build the falls and lay a continuous membrane to AS 3740 before any tile goes on, and for balcony and bathroom leaks across common property we carry out compliant remedial work in with the owners corporation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do floors crack in the St George area? Most of the area sits on reactive Wianamatta 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 do apartment and strata tiling? Yes, a large part of our work in the Hurstville and Kogarah towers. We tile unit bathrooms and balconies and carry out compliant strata remediation, working in with owners corporations and building access.

Do you tile foreshore homes along the bay? Yes. The Georges River and Botany Bay foreshore brings water-frontage blocks, and we prepare and waterproof for those conditions.

Do you remove the old tiles? Yes, demolition and removal of old tiles is part of the job where a wet area or floor is being redone.
