Working in Canning Town
We work right across Canning Town — E13, E14 and E16 — and in neighbouring Stratford and Bow.
In Canning Town, many bathrooms are in flats or converted houses, so we check lease consents, access and the floor below before we price. For Canning Town flats, we check the lease and the floor build-up before laying hard tiles on a timber floor. We measure tiled areas in Canning Town 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
- Fixing with an adhesive suited to the tile and the surface, with levelling clips for large tiles
- Floor preparation: overlaying timber floors with ply or backer board, or levelling a screed
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.
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.
