Working in Leyland

We work right across Leyland — PR25 and PR26 — and in neighbouring Chorley and Preston.

Homes in and around Leyland vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. Whatever the age of your Leyland home, large-format tiles need flat walls, so the survey checks how much preparation they will take. Tiling quotes in Leyland list the tile, the area and the preparation separately, so you can compare like for like.

Supplies across most of Lancashire 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

Sealing natural stone and cleaning off grout haze before handover
Fixing with an adhesive suited to the tile and the surface, with levelling clips for large tiles
Checking walls for flatness and strength, and boarding with cement-based backer board where needed
Floor preparation: overlaying timber floors with ply or backer board, or levelling a screed

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.

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.
