Working in Leytonstone

In Leytonstone we cover E10, E11 and E17; we also cover Walthamstow, 2 miles away, and Stratford.

London homes in Leytonstone often mean stairs, permits and neighbours below; we plan the logistics as carefully as the bathroom. Whatever the age of your Leytonstone home, large-format tiles need flat walls, so the survey checks how much preparation they will take. For Leytonstone flats, we check the lease and the floor build-up before laying hard tiles on a timber floor.

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

Measuring wall and floor areas and working out quantities with an allowance for cuts
Floor preparation: overlaying timber floors with ply or backer board, or levelling a screed
Checking walls for flatness and strength, and boarding with cement-based backer board where needed
Sealing natural stone and cleaning off grout haze before handover

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.

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.

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. Large-format tiles mean fewer grout lines, which can make a small room look calmer. They need flat walls and careful setting-out so that cuts are not left as thin slivers by the door or window.
