Working in Walthamstow

We work right across Walthamstow — E4, E10, E11 and 1 more postcode districts — and in neighbouring Leytonstone and Tottenham.

In Walthamstow, many bathrooms are in flats or converted houses, so we check lease consents, access and the floor below before we price. Tiling quotes in Walthamstow list the tile, the area and the preparation separately, so you can compare like for like. If your Walthamstow 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

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
Setting out so cuts are even and joints line up with niches, windows and edges

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.

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.
