Working in Annan

As well as Annan itself (DG12), we survey in Dumfries, Locharbriggs and Stranraer.

Annan gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. For Annan flats, we check your title deeds and any deed of conditions and the floor build-up before laying hard tiles on a timber floor. If your Annan home has hard water, larger tiles and epoxy grout leave fewer joints for limescale to build up in.

Supplies across most of Dumfries and Galloway 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

Floor preparation: overlaying timber floors with ply or backer board, or levelling a screed
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
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.

Edges

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

Rules that apply in Scotland

In Scotland, re-tiling does not need a building warrant. Forming a new bathroom or altering drainage for a tiled shower floor may, so check before the floor is opened.

What tiles are best for a bathroom floor?

Porcelain is usually the most practical bathroom floor tile, because it absorbs very little water and wears well. Choose a matt or textured finish with a slip rating of R10 or above. Our bathroom tiles guide covers sizes and finishes in more detail.
