Working in Rickmansworth

As well as Rickmansworth itself (HA6, WD3 and WD18), we survey in Watford, Chalfont St Peter and North Watford.

In Rickmansworth, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. Tiling quotes in Rickmansworth list the tile, the area and the preparation separately, so you can compare like for like. We measure tiled areas in Rickmansworth bathrooms on site, so the quote is based on real square metres.

Water across much of Hertfordshire is very 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

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
Checking walls for flatness and strength, and boarding with cement-based backer board where needed
Measuring wall and floor areas and working out quantities with an allowance for cuts

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.

Floor grip

For a bathroom floor, choose a matt or textured tile with a slip rating of R10 or above. Smaller tiles with more grout lines grip better in a shower.

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. 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.
