Working in Larkhall

We cover every part of Larkhall, including ML9, and nearby Wishaw (3 miles) and Hamilton (3.5 miles).

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Larkhall: free survey, written quote, one team. If you want a tiled shower floor in your Larkhall bathroom, the tanking and drainage are planned before the tile is chosen. For Larkhall flats, we check your title deeds and any deed of conditions and the floor build-up before laying hard tiles on a timber floor.

Supplies across most of Lanarkshire 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

Setting out so cuts are even and joints line up with niches, windows and edges
Measuring wall and floor areas and working out quantities with an allowance for cuts
Floor preparation: overlaying timber floors with ply or backer board, or levelling a screed
Fixing with an adhesive suited to the tile and the surface, with levelling clips for large tiles

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.

Ceramic or porcelain

Ceramic is lighter, easier to cut and cheaper, and is fine on walls. Porcelain is denser and absorbs less water, so it suits floors and showers.

Rules that apply in Scotland

In Scotland, re-tiling does not need a building warrant. Forming a new bathroom or altering drainage for a tiled shower floor may, so check before the floor is opened.
