Working in Prestwich

As well as Prestwich itself (M7, M25 and M45), we survey in Whitefield, Radcliffe and Salford.

Homes in and around Prestwich vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If your Prestwich home has hard water, larger tiles and epoxy grout leave fewer joints for limescale to build up in. We measure tiled areas in Prestwich bathrooms on site, so the quote is based on real square metres.

Supplies across most of Greater Manchester are soft. Soft water is kind to grout, so mid-tone and darker grouts stay looking fresh. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

Floor preparation: overlaying timber floors with ply or backer board, or levelling a screed
Fixing with an adhesive suited to the tile and the surface, with levelling clips for large tiles
Sealing natural stone and cleaning off grout haze before handover
Measuring wall and floor areas and working out quantities with an allowance for cuts

Decisions to make first

Ceramic or porcelain

Ceramic is lighter, easier to cut and cheaper, and is fine on walls. Porcelain is denser and absorbs less water, so it suits floors and showers.

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.

What tiles are best for a bathroom floor?

Porcelain is usually the most practical bathroom floor tile, because it absorbs very little water and wears well. Choose a matt or textured finish with a slip rating of R10 or above. Our bathroom tiles guide covers sizes and finishes in more detail.
