Working in Crowthorne

As well as Crowthorne itself (GU47, RG40 and RG45), we survey in Sandhurst, Yateley and Camberley.

Homes in and around Crowthorne vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If you want a tiled shower floor in your Crowthorne bathroom, the tanking and drainage are planned before the tile is chosen. Whatever the age of your Crowthorne home, large-format tiles need flat walls, so the survey checks how much preparation they will take.

Water across much of Berkshire is hard. Hard water leaves white marks on dark grout and gloss tiles, so matt finishes and stain-resistant grout are the practical choice. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

Setting out so cuts are even and joints line up with niches, windows and edges
Floor preparation: overlaying timber floors with ply or backer board, or levelling a screed
Checking walls for flatness and strength, and boarding with cement-based backer board where needed
Measuring wall and floor areas and working out quantities with an allowance for cuts

Decisions to make first

Ceramic or porcelain

Ceramic is lighter, easier to cut and cheaper, and is fine on walls. Porcelain is denser and absorbs less water, so it suits floors and showers.

Edges

Metal or PVC trims are quick and protect tile edges. Mitred edges look cleaner on porcelain and take more labour.

Rules that apply in England

In England, tiling itself is not building regulations work. If it is part of forming a level shower floor with new drainage, that drainage can be Part H work, and any new electrics are covered by Part P.
