Working in Hedge End

We cover every part of Hedge End, including SO30, and nearby Eastleigh (4.3 miles) and Southampton (4.5 miles).

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Hedge End: free survey, written quote, one team. We measure tiled areas in Hedge End bathrooms on site, so the quote is based on real square metres. Whatever the age of your Hedge End home, large-format tiles need flat walls, so the survey checks how much preparation they will take.

Water across much of Hampshire is 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
Sealing natural stone and cleaning off grout haze before handover
Checking walls for flatness and strength, and boarding with cement-based backer board where needed
Grouting, trims or mitred edges, and silicone at internal corners, the bath and the tray

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.

Natural stone

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

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.
