Working in Stroud

We work right across Stroud — GL5, GL6 and GL10 — and in neighbouring Gloucester and Cirencester.

In Stroud, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. We measure tiled areas in Stroud bathrooms on site, so the quote is based on real square metres. If you want a tiled shower floor in your Stroud bathroom, the tanking and drainage are planned before the tile is chosen.

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

Grouting, trims or mitred edges, and silicone at internal corners, the bath and the tray
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
Tanking the shower area and the walls around the bath with a waterproof membrane or liquid system

Decisions to make first

Grout

Cement-based grout is standard. Epoxy grout resists stains and mould better and suits showers, but takes longer to apply and costs more.

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 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.
