02 / Where we stop

Where we stop

Garnebo does not perform structural modifications, plumbing connections, or electrical work in-house, in full compliance with DM 37/2008. Where your project requires moving drains, replacing shower mixers, or adding power sockets, these activities are coordinated with certified professionals. Your quote will explicitly distinguish what Garnebo executes directly and what is executed by certified partners.

Yes, we do this

Tile and waterproofing installation. Substrate preparation. Coordination of DM 37/2008-regulated trades.

No, we refer you

Structural work, plumbing connections, electrical work — these need certified professionals.

If the pre-job inspection reveals adhesive containing asbestos or suspect substrates, we stop and refer you to a licensed remediation firm. We never improvise.

06 / Materials & quality

Materials & Quality

We prioritise first-choice gres and ceramic tiles sourced from the Sassuolo district — minimising lead times and ensuring consistent batches for larger renovations.

  • 01Gres porcellanato — recommended for floors and high-moisture areas. Low porosity, stain-resistant, durable.
  • 02Ceramic — suitable for wall applications where weight and budget are more sensitive.
  • 03Sassuolo-district sourcing — consistent colour batches and shorter lead times for Bologna projects.
  • 04We explain the practical differences for your specific rooms — slip resistance, thermal performance over underfloor heating — so you choose informed.

09 / FAQ

Frequently asked questions

01Is gres really better than ceramic for my Bologna bathroom?
For most Bologna bathrooms, gres offers superior durability, lower water absorption, and better stain resistance. Garnebo helps you choose by room — combining Sassuolo-district options with your specific humidity and usage patterns.
02How long before I can use a newly tiled shower?
You can walk on floors after the adhesive cures (typically 24–48 hours). Showers are usable once both adhesive and grout have fully set. Exact timings depend on materials and ventilation — we define them in your work order.
03Can Garnebo move drains and radiators in my bathroom?
Garnebo does not perform plumbing or heating work directly (DM 37/2008), but coordinates these activities with certified Bologna technicians. Your quote separates tile and waterproofing from regulated work, ensuring full legal declarations.
04How does your flat-rate compare to what other contractors offer?
Many contractors in Bologna compete on "free quotes" that adjust mid-job. Garnebo uses a flat-rate defined after site survey, backed by photos and clear scope — trading a race-to-the-bottom for transparent economics and one accountable contact.
05Do you supply tiles or do I buy them?
Both options. We can source from Sassuolo-district suppliers (consistent batches, trade pricing) or work with tiles you've already purchased. The quote adapts accordingly.
06What happens if old adhesive contains asbestos?
We stop work immediately, document the finding, and refer you to a licensed remediation firm. No extra cost for the suspension.
07Do you tile outdoors in Bologna winters?
We schedule outdoor work (terraces, balconies) for favourable conditions. Frost-resistant materials and proper drainage are standard requirements we specify upfront.
08Can I stay in the apartment during tile work?
Possible for larger apartments where the work area can be isolated. We decide at the walk-through and include site logistics in the quote.
09How soon can you start?
Typically 7–14 days after signing the quote, depending on material availability and current workload.
10What areas of Bologna do you cover for tile work?
All Bologna neighbourhoods plus Casalecchio, San Lazzaro, Imola, and Valsamoggia. The quote includes travel — no hidden surcharges.
