Working in Grangemouth

We work right across Grangemouth — FK3 — and in neighbouring Falkirk and Alloa.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Grangemouth: free survey, written quote, one team. For Grangemouth 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 Grangemouth home has hard water, larger tiles and epoxy grout leave fewer joints for limescale to build up in.

Most of the Forth Valley 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

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
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.

Floor grip

For a bathroom floor, choose a matt or textured tile with a slip rating of R10 or above. Smaller tiles with more grout lines grip better in a shower.

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.

Do you cover FK3 in Grangemouth?

Yes. We cover all of Grangemouth, including FK3, and nearby Falkirk, Alloa and Bathgate. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Grangemouth?

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.
