Something you may not have realised that here at 365drills we also provide a tile drilling service and will come to sites anywhere in the UK.

We will drill any tile including commercial grade C5 porcelain large format tiles. We drill commercial and residential projects.

If you are having problems or are just nervous about damage to expensive
tiles then call us today on 01992 410636

Here is a typical example of a job in London:

1) Load up the car with the correct size diamond core drills, masonary drills, screws, rawl plugs plus all the other equipment that we need including power cords, battery chargers, water bucket.

Arrive on site and pay for parking. Yes we know London is expensive.

Often we find there are residents only bays so we will look for the correct place to park up.

First things first... After a cup of coffee we will assess the job with you. A lot of clients assume things about drill sizes, hole depth etc etc and its surprising how often things can be wrong on a job site.

The wall should be marked out for the appropriate drilling location of the holes. Please use masking tape and pencil. It is better to draw round the fitting in addition to marking out the holes so that we can test your measurements by dry fitting equipment etc.

Once marked out we photograph the entire bathroom and the hole positions to cover ourselves from any damage claims. We are
FULLY INSURED and have both £2m public liability and £2m product liabilty.

Photographing protects both of us. Note - we have never had a dispute to date about incorrect drilling of holes or breakages to tiles or equipment.

Now we start the actual drilling of the tiles. We take the utmost
care to keep dust and dirt to a minimum. We fully clean
all surfaces after so that there is no abrasive tile grit in baths
showers, sinks, floors etc.

Holes are accurately drilled using our patent applied anti slip guide plate
to GUARANTEE the diamond core drill will hit the exact spot to the millimetre.

Holes are drilled where the customer wants them. We will help with your
location choice but once drilled there is no going back.

Your bathroom or project will be treated with respect.
Yes there will be some mess and dirt during the drilling
of the tile with our diamond core drill bits.

But as mentioned above we will mop up all tile cores
dust and spent diamond cores.

At the end of the job we guarantee you will be delighted with the
service.

Currently we are charging a set day rate of £200 to come and drill holes
into VERY HARD PORCELAIN tiles.

Plus a drill rate of £3 per hole.

This might sound expensive but remember many of the tiles in the large
format porcelain range can cost upwards of £50psm which means the
tiles in a medium sized bathroom of 37 square meters will be costing
about £2000 without any fitting, adhesive, grout and tilers costs.

If you are not confident about drilling tiles then this is another option for
you to consider. At any time you can call for advice...
