Working in Royton

We cover every part of Royton, including OL1, OL2 and OL9, and nearby Chadderton (1.6 miles) and Oldham (1.7 miles).

Royton gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. We measure tiled areas in Royton bathrooms on site, so the quote is based on real square metres. For Royton flats, we check the lease and the floor build-up before laying hard tiles on a timber floor.

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

Measuring wall and floor areas and working out quantities with an allowance for cuts
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
Sealing natural stone and cleaning off grout haze before handover

Decisions to make first

Natural stone

Marble, limestone and travertine need sealing and gentle cleaners, and can mark. Stone-effect porcelain gives a similar look without the upkeep.

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.

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 visit, measure the room, check the pipework, drainage and electrics, and talk through what you want. You then get a written, itemised quote with no obligation to go ahead.

Can large tiles be used in a small bathroom?

Yes. Large-format tiles mean fewer grout lines, which can make a small room look calmer. They need flat walls and careful setting-out so that cuts are not left as thin slivers by the door or window.
