Working in Magherafelt

We cover every part of Magherafelt, including BT45 and BT46, and nearby Cookstown (9.4 miles) and Ballymena (15.2 miles).

Magherafelt gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. For Magherafelt flats, we check the lease and the floor build-up before laying hard tiles on a timber floor. If you want a tiled shower floor in your Magherafelt bathroom, the tanking and drainage are planned before the tile is chosen.

Supplies across most of County Londonderry 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
Checking walls for flatness and strength, and boarding with cement-based backer board where needed
Grouting, trims or mitred edges, and silicone at internal corners, the bath and the tray
Measuring wall and floor areas and working out quantities with an allowance for cuts

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.

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.

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.

Do you cover BT45 and BT46 in Magherafelt?

Yes. We cover all of Magherafelt, including BT45 and BT46, and nearby Cookstown, Ballymena and Antrim. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Magherafelt?

Should bathroom tiles go floor to ceiling?

Full-height tiling is easier to wipe clean and looks finished, but it adds area and cost. Tiling just the wet areas and using bathroom paint elsewhere is a reasonable way to save money in a well-ventilated room.
