Working in Thornton-Cleveleys
We work right across Thornton-Cleveleys — FY2, FY5 and FY6 — and in neighbouring Poulton-le-Fylde and Fleetwood.
In Thornton-Cleveleys, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your Thornton-Cleveleys home has hard water, larger tiles and epoxy grout leave fewer joints for limescale to build up in. Whatever the age of your Thornton-Cleveleys home, large-format tiles need flat walls, so the survey checks how much preparation they will take.
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
- Tanking the shower area and the walls around the bath with a waterproof membrane or liquid system
- Grouting, trims or mitred edges, and silicone at internal corners, the bath and the tray
- Measuring wall and floor areas and working out quantities with an allowance for cuts
- Setting out so cuts are even and joints line up with niches, windows and edges
Decisions to make first
Grout
Cement-based grout is standard. Epoxy grout resists stains and mould better and suits showers, but takes longer to apply and costs more.
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 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.
