Working in Cricklewood

We cover every part of Cricklewood, including NW2, NW6 and NW11, and nearby Kilburn (1.1 miles) and Willesden (1.8 miles).

In Cricklewood, many bathrooms are in flats or converted houses, so we check lease consents, access and the floor below before we price. We measure tiled areas in Cricklewood bathrooms on site, so the quote is based on real square metres. Whatever the age of your Cricklewood home, large-format tiles need flat walls, so the survey checks how much preparation they will take.

Most of Greater London has very 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
Checking walls for flatness and strength, and boarding with cement-based backer board where needed
Grouting, trims or mitred edges, and silicone at internal corners, the bath and the tray
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.
