Often verandas on older Adelaide villas and cottages have beautiful tiles, yet the base on which they sit has broken down causing damage to both tiles and structure. In repairing a veranda consider photographing the original tiles before you repair. Once a new waterproofed base is built it is time to replace the tiles. Winckelmans Factory still manufacture the same kind of tessellated tile they made in 1890s making it easy to retile your veranda and blend with the original heritage.

When selecting a tiler it is important that the tiler is qualified to lay the product you have selected. Once the tiler takes on the job it is his or her responsibility to ensure that it can be achieved with satisfactory results. There are many different tile products available these days and it is important your tiler understands the particular requirements of tiles you have selected.
