Working in Saltash

In Saltash we cover PL12; we also cover Plymouth, 4.5 miles away, and Plymstock.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Saltash: free survey, written quote, one team. Whatever the age of your Saltash home, large-format tiles need flat walls, so the survey checks how much preparation they will take. Tiling quotes in Saltash list the tile, the area and the preparation separately, so you can compare like for like.

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

Tanking the shower area and the walls around the bath with a waterproof membrane or liquid system
Floor preparation: overlaying timber floors with ply or backer board, or levelling a screed
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

Decisions to make first

Natural stone

Marble, limestone and travertine need sealing and gentle cleaners, and can mark. Stone-effect porcelain gives a similar look without the upkeep.

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.

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.
