Before you begin, you'll need:

• tiles
• grout
• tile cutter
• chalk
• spirit level
• tile spacers
• pencil
• spreader
• floor sealer
• damp cloth
• tape measure

If the tiles you are using are natural stone or particularly expensive, it might be worth getting an expert in if you're not a confident DIYer.
