We cover every part of Craigavon, including BT63, BT64, BT65 and 2 more postcode districts, and nearby Portadown (2.8 miles) and Banbridge (7.9 miles).

Homes in and around Craigavon 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 Craigavon bathroom, the tanking and drainage are planned before the tile is chosen. Whatever the age of your Craigavon home, large-format tiles need flat walls, so the survey checks how much preparation they will take.

Most of County Armagh is supplied with soft water. 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
Sealing natural stone and cleaning off grout haze before handover
Floor preparation: overlaying timber floors with ply or backer board, or levelling a screed
Tanking the shower area and the walls around the bath with a waterproof membrane or liquid system

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.

Natural stone

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

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.

Is the water hard in Craigavon?

Does bathroom tiling in Craigavon need building control approval?

Building control in Craigavon is run by the local district council. Where approval is needed, for example for new drainage, we tell you at the survey and handle it as part of the job.

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.
