Working in Omagh

We cover every part of Omagh, including BT78 and BT79, and nearby Strabane (16.9 miles) and Enniskillen (22.3 miles).

Omagh gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. We measure tiled areas in Omagh bathrooms on site, so the quote is based on real square metres. For Omagh flats, we check the lease and the floor build-up before laying hard tiles on a timber floor.

Water across much of County Tyrone 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

Measuring wall and floor areas and working out quantities with an allowance for cuts
Grouting, trims or mitred edges, and silicone at internal corners, the bath and the tray
Setting out so cuts are even and joints line up with niches, windows and edges
Checking walls for flatness and strength, and boarding with cement-based backer board where needed

Decisions to make first

Edges

Metal or PVC trims are quick and protect tile edges. Mitred edges look cleaner on porcelain and take more labour.

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.

Is the water hard in Omagh?

Does bathroom tiling in Omagh need building control approval?

Building control in Omagh 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.
