Working in Barnet
In Barnet we cover EN4, EN5, HA8 and 7 more postcode districts; we also cover Potters Bar, 3.1 miles away, and Borehamwood.
In Barnet, many bathrooms are in flats or converted houses, so we check lease consents, access and the floor below before we price. For Barnet flats, we check the lease and the floor build-up before laying hard tiles on a timber floor. We measure tiled areas in Barnet bathrooms on site, so the quote is based on real square metres.
Water across much of Greater London is very 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
- Grouting, trims or mitred edges, and silicone at internal corners, the bath and the tray
- Checking walls for flatness and strength, and boarding with cement-based backer board where needed
- Tanking the shower area and the walls around the bath with a waterproof membrane or liquid system
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.
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.
