Working in Hayling Island

As well as Hayling Island itself (PO11), we survey in South Hayling, Emsworth and Havant.

Hayling Island gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If your Hayling Island home has hard water, larger tiles and epoxy grout leave fewer joints for limescale to build up in. Tiling quotes in Hayling Island list the tile, the area and the preparation separately, so you can compare like for like.

Supplies across most of Hampshire are 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

Sealing natural stone and cleaning off grout haze before handover
Grouting, trims or mitred edges, and silicone at internal corners, the bath and the tray
Setting out so cuts are even and joints line up with niches, windows and edges
Floor preparation: overlaying timber floors with ply or backer board, or levelling a screed

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.

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.
