Working in Peacehaven

As well as Peacehaven itself (BN10), we survey in Rottingdean, Seaford and Lewes.

Peacehaven gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If you want a tiled shower floor in your Peacehaven bathroom, the tanking and drainage are planned before the tile is chosen. Tiling quotes in Peacehaven list the tile, the area and the preparation separately, so you can compare like for like.

Water across much of East Sussex is hard. Hard water leaves white marks on dark grout and gloss tiles, so matt finishes and stain-resistant grout are the practical choice. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

Setting out so cuts are even and joints line up with niches, windows and edges
Floor preparation: overlaying timber floors with ply or backer board, or levelling a screed
Checking walls for flatness and strength, and boarding with cement-based backer board where needed
Sealing natural stone and cleaning off grout haze before handover

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.

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.

Rules that apply in England

In England, tiling itself is not building regulations work. If it is part of forming a level shower floor with new drainage, that drainage can be Part H work, and any new electrics are covered by Part P.

Yes. Large-format tiles mean fewer grout lines, which can make a small room look calmer. They need flat walls and careful setting-out so that cuts are not left as thin slivers by the door or window.
