Working in Windsor

We cover every part of Windsor, including SL4, and nearby Slough (1.8 miles) and Egham (4.1 miles).

In Windsor, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your Windsor home has hard water, larger tiles and epoxy grout leave fewer joints for limescale to build up in. Tiling quotes in Windsor list the tile, the area and the preparation separately, so you can compare like for like.

Most of Berkshire has hard water. 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

Sealing natural stone and cleaning off grout haze before handover
Measuring wall and floor areas and working out quantities with an allowance for cuts
Fixing with an adhesive suited to the tile and the surface, with levelling clips for large tiles
Floor preparation: overlaying timber floors with ply or backer board, or levelling a screed

Decisions to make first

Grout

Cement-based grout is standard. Epoxy grout resists stains and mould better and suits showers, but takes longer to apply and costs more.

Floor grip

For a bathroom floor, choose a matt or textured tile with a slip rating of R10 or above. Smaller tiles with more grout lines grip better in a shower.

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.

Who handles building control for bathroom tiling in Windsor?

Building control for Windsor is handled by the local council or an approved inspector. If your job needs sign-off — for example a new circuit, new drainage or a new extractor where there was none — we tell you at the survey and handle the notification as part of the work.

How long does bathroom tiling take?

Allow 2–4 working days on site for most jobs, plus the lead time for products after you approve the quote. We give you a day-by-day plan before work starts in Windsor.

Do I need to tank a bathroom before tiling?

The shower area should always be tanked, because tiles and grout are not waterproof on their own. Around a bath with a shower over it, tanking the walls to above the shower head is sensible. A wet room needs the whole floor and the lower walls tanked.
