Working in Stratford

We cover every part of Stratford, including E7, E12 and E15, and nearby Bow (0.9 miles) and Canning Town (1.6 miles).

London homes in Stratford often mean stairs, permits and neighbours below; we plan the logistics as carefully as the bathroom. We measure tiled areas in Stratford bathrooms on site, so the quote is based on real square metres. If you want a tiled shower floor in your Stratford bathroom, the tanking and drainage are planned before the tile is chosen.

Supplies across most of Greater London are 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

Grout

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

Edges

Metal or PVC trims are quick and protect tile edges. Mitred edges look cleaner on porcelain and take more labour.

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.

Do bathroom tiles need sealing?

Glazed ceramic and porcelain tiles do not need sealing, but natural stone such as marble, limestone and travertine does, and some unglazed porcelain benefits from it. Cement-based grout can be sealed to slow staining; epoxy grout does not need it.
