Working in Finchley

We work right across Finchley — N2, N3 and N12 — and in neighbouring Muswell Hill and Cricklewood.

London homes in Finchley often mean stairs, permits and neighbours below; we plan the logistics as carefully as the bathroom. If your Finchley home has hard water, larger tiles and epoxy grout leave fewer joints for limescale to build up in. Whatever the age of your Finchley home, large-format tiles need flat walls, so the survey checks how much preparation they will take.

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

Measuring wall and floor areas and working out quantities with an allowance for cuts
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
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.

Yes. We visit, measure the room, check the pipework, drainage and electrics, and talk through what you want. You then get a written, itemised quote with no obligation to go ahead.

Do you cover N2 in Finchley?

Yes. We cover all of Finchley, including N2, N3 and N12, and nearby Muswell Hill, Cricklewood and Kilburn. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Do I need to tank a bathroom before tiling?

The shower area should always be tanked, because tiles and grout are not waterproof on their own. Around a bath with a shower over it, tanking the walls to above the shower head is sensible. A wet room needs the whole floor and the lower walls tanked.
