We get the base right
Most tile damage starts underneath the tile. We spend the time where you cannot see it — on the falls, the membrane and the fixing.
Tiling · Masonry · Levelling · Membrane
We build bathrooms
layer by layer.
From the waterproof membrane to the last grouted tile. Alma Service handles the whole build-up of your wet room — or just the layer you need help with.
“Quality at every step”
We take jobs across the area. A no-obligation chat on the phone.
Services
Four layers. In the right order.
A wet room is built from the bottom up. We have listed the services in the order they are actually carried out — you can book the whole build-up, or a single layer.
-
Membrane
Approved liquid-applied membrane on floor and wall, reinforced at corners, transitions and around the drain. This is the layer that keeps the water where it belongs.
-
Floor levelling
Levelling and smoothing the floor to a flat substrate with the correct fall towards the drain. Without an even base, grout cracks and tiles sit unevenly.
-
Masonry
Building walls, shower niches, benches and built-in solutions. We build the structure so it takes both the moisture load and the weight of the tile.
-
Tiling
Tiling floors and walls in every format, from mosaic to large-format. Precise setting, straight grout lines and a clean finish against trims and fittings.

How we work
From the first call
to a finished bathroom.
You should know what happens, and when. This is what a normal project looks like with us.
-
Site visit
We come to you, look at the room, measure up and hear what you have in mind. No obligation.
-
Written quote
You get an itemised price covering what is included — and what is not. No surprises along the way.
-
The work
Dust screening, covering and tidying up every day. The same contact person throughout, and any change is agreed before it is carried out.
-
Handover
We walk through the room together. You get the photographs from the work beneath the tile, and the documentation for the materials used.
Why us
What separates a good job
from an expensive one.
One tradesman, all the way
You get the same contact person from the site visit to the handover. No detours through a switchboard.
A price before we break ground
A written quote stating what is included and what is not. Changes are agreed before they are carried out.
We clean up after ourselves
Dust screening, covering and daily tidying. A building project should not take over your whole home.

Assurance
The paperwork in order.
A bathroom is one of the most expensive things you renovate, and most of the work disappears under the tile. So we document it.
Photographs of what is hidden
Membrane, falls and drain are photographed before the tile goes on. You get the photographs at handover — they are worth a great deal if you sell later.
Product documentation
Data sheets and maintenance instructions for the materials used — in Norway this is called FDV documentation — collected and handed over as one pack.
Five years to report defects
The Norwegian Craftsman Services Act gives you five years to report defects in work on real property. That is a statutory right — not something we invented.

About us
Craftsmanship that lasts,
long after we leave.
Alma Service is a trade company specialising in tiling, masonry, floor levelling and waterproof membrane work. We work for private customers, housing cooperatives and contractors, and take on both small repairs and complete wet room projects.
We believe in doing a few things properly rather than many things halfway. So we stick to what we do best: the substrate, the membrane, the masonry and the tile. Get the base right and the rest lasts for decades.
All work is carried out to current wet room requirements, and we document it as we go, so your paperwork is in order if you ever sell.
- A fixed contact person throughout the project
- A tidy site — we clean up at the end of every day

Questions and answers
What people usually ask.
What does it cost to tile a bathroom?
The price is driven by the number of square metres, the tile format, how much has to be stripped out, and whether the substrate needs rebuilding. Large-format tile and mosaic take more labour than standard formats. We always give an itemised written price after a site visit, so you know what is included before you decide.
How long does a complete wet room take?
A normal bathroom takes three to five weeks from strip-out to finished room. Much of that is drying time — levelling compound and membrane have to cure before the next layer can go on, and that time cannot be shortened without the quality suffering. You get a schedule together with the quote.
Do I need permission from the municipality to renovate a bathroom?
As a rule no, as long as you are renovating an existing wet room without moving walls or altering load-bearing structures. If you are building a new bathroom in a room that has not been a wet room before, or making changes to the structure or the pipework, the work may require an application. Check with your municipality if you are unsure — we are happy to help assess what applies to your project.
What documentation do I get?
You get photographs of the work beneath the tile — particularly the membrane, the falls and the drain — together with product data sheets and maintenance documentation for the materials used. These are the papers a surveyor and a buyer will ask for if you sell later, and they are worth keeping.
How long do I have to report a defect?
Five years. The Norwegian Craftsman Services Act gives you five years to report defects in work on real property that is intended to last substantially longer than two years. If you find something you believe is wrong, get in touch and we will come and look at it.
Do you take small jobs, or only whole bathrooms?
Both. We take on replacing single tiles, re-grouting, membrane over a limited area and building a shower niche, just as readily as complete wet rooms. Give us a call and we will tell you honestly whether the job is one we are the right firm for.
