Working in Welwyn Garden City
We cover every part of Welwyn Garden City, including AL7 and AL8, and nearby Hatfield (2.8 miles) and Hertford (5.5 miles).
Homes in and around Welwyn Garden City vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. Tiling quotes in Welwyn Garden City list the tile, the area and the preparation separately, so you can compare like for like. For Welwyn Garden City flats, we check the lease and the floor build-up before laying hard tiles on a timber floor.
Supplies across most of Hertfordshire are 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
- Tanking the shower area and the walls around the bath with a waterproof membrane or liquid system
- Floor preparation: overlaying timber floors with ply or backer board, or levelling a screed
- 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
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
