Working in Redruth

We work right across Redruth — TR15 and TR16 — and in neighbouring Camborne and Truro.

In Redruth, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. For Redruth flats, we check the lease and the floor build-up before laying hard tiles on a timber floor. Whatever the age of your Redruth home, large-format tiles need flat walls, so the survey checks how much preparation they will take.

Supplies across most of Cornwall are soft. Soft water is kind to grout, so mid-tone and darker grouts stay looking fresh. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

Measuring wall and floor areas and working out quantities with an allowance for cuts
Setting out so cuts are even and joints line up with niches, windows and edges
Fixing with an adhesive suited to the tile and the surface, with levelling clips for large tiles
Checking walls for flatness and strength, and boarding with cement-based backer board where needed

Decisions to make first

Tile size

Large-format tiles mean fewer grout lines but need flat walls and more preparation. Small tiles and mosaics follow uneven surfaces and grip better underfoot.

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.

Bathroom tiling in Redruth: questions

Is the water hard in Redruth?

Who handles building control for bathroom tiling in Redruth?

Building control for Redruth 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.

Can you tile over existing bathroom tiles?

Sometimes, but it is rarely the right choice. Tiling over tiles adds weight, brings the wall forward so trims and fittings no longer line up, and hides any loose tiles or water damage underneath. It is only worth considering where the old tiles are firmly bonded and the wall can take the extra load.
