Working in Kingswood

As well as Kingswood itself (BS15, BS16 and GL12), we survey in Mangotsfield, Keynsham and Bishopsworth.

Homes in and around Kingswood vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. For Kingswood flats, we check the lease and the floor build-up before laying hard tiles on a timber floor. Whatever the age of your Kingswood home, large-format tiles need flat walls, so the survey checks how much preparation they will take.

Most of Gloucestershire has hard water. 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

Tanking the shower area and the walls around the bath with a waterproof membrane or liquid system
Fixing with an adhesive suited to the tile and the surface, with levelling clips for large tiles
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

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.

Natural stone

Marble, limestone and travertine need sealing and gentle cleaners, and can mark. Stone-effect porcelain gives a similar look without the upkeep.

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.

Do you cover BS15 in Kingswood?

Yes. We cover all of Kingswood, including BS15, BS16 and GL12, and nearby Mangotsfield, Keynsham and Bishopsworth. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Kingswood?

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.
