Working in Armagh

We work right across Armagh — BT61 — and in neighbouring Portadown and Dungannon.

Armagh gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. We measure tiled areas in Armagh bathrooms on site, so the quote is based on real square metres. Whatever the age of your Armagh home, large-format tiles need flat walls, so the survey checks how much preparation they will take.

Water across much of County Armagh is 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
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
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 Northern Ireland

In Northern Ireland, tiling does not need building control approval. Building control comes in only where drainage or structure is altered alongside it.
