Working in Stamford Hill

As well as Stamford Hill itself (E5, N15 and N16), we survey in Highbury, Tottenham and Holloway.

London homes in Stamford Hill often mean stairs, permits and neighbours below; we plan the logistics as carefully as the bathroom. We measure tiled areas in Stamford Hill bathrooms on site, so the quote is based on real square metres. If your Stamford Hill home has hard water, larger tiles and epoxy grout leave fewer joints for limescale to build up in.

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

Fixing with an adhesive suited to the tile and the surface, with levelling clips for large tiles
Checking walls for flatness and strength, and boarding with cement-based backer board where needed
Measuring wall and floor areas and working out quantities with an allowance for cuts
Tanking the shower area and the walls around the bath with a waterproof membrane or liquid system

Decisions to make first

Natural stone

Marble, limestone and travertine need sealing and gentle cleaners, and can mark. Stone-effect porcelain gives a similar look without the upkeep.

Grout

Cement-based grout is standard. Epoxy grout resists stains and mould better and suits showers, but takes longer to apply and costs more.

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.
