Working in Wembley

In Wembley we cover HA0, HA9 and UB6; we also cover Brent, 0.2 miles away, and Harrow.

London homes in Wembley often mean stairs, permits and neighbours below; we plan the logistics as carefully as the bathroom. Tiling quotes in Wembley list the tile, the area and the preparation separately, so you can compare like for like. If you want a tiled shower floor in your Wembley bathroom, the tanking and drainage are planned before the tile is chosen.

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

Setting out so cuts are even and joints line up with niches, windows and edges
Checking walls for flatness and strength, and boarding with cement-based backer board where needed
Tanking the shower area and the walls around the bath with a waterproof membrane or liquid system
Floor preparation: overlaying timber floors with ply or backer board, or levelling a screed

Decisions to make first

Edges

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

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.

Yes. We cover all of Wembley, including HA0, HA9 and UB6, and nearby Brent, Harrow and Greenford. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.
