Working in Battersea

We work right across Battersea — SW3, SW8 and SW11 — and in neighbouring Chelsea and Fulham.

London homes in Battersea often mean stairs, permits and neighbours below; we plan the logistics as carefully as the bathroom. For Battersea flats, we check the lease and the floor build-up before laying hard tiles on a timber floor. We measure tiled areas in Battersea bathrooms on site, so the quote is based on real square metres.

Supplies across most of Greater London are 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

Tanking the shower area and the walls around the bath with a waterproof membrane or liquid system
Checking walls for flatness and strength, and boarding with cement-based backer board where needed
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

Decisions to make first

Ceramic or porcelain

Ceramic is lighter, easier to cut and cheaper, and is fine on walls. Porcelain is denser and absorbs less water, so it suits floors and showers.

Edges

Metal or PVC trims are quick and protect tile edges. Mitred edges look cleaner on porcelain and take more labour.

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 SW3 in Battersea?

Yes. We cover all of Battersea, including SW3, SW8 and SW11, and nearby Chelsea, Fulham and Brixton. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

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.
