Working in Streatham

We cover every part of Streatham, including SE27, SW12 and SW16, and nearby Mitcham (2.4 miles) and Brixton (2.8 miles).

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

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

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
Setting out so cuts are even and joints line up with niches, windows and edges
Sealing natural stone and cleaning off grout haze before handover

Decisions to make first

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.

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.
