Working in Grimsby

In Grimsby we cover DN31, DN32 and DN34; we also cover Cleethorpes, 1.8 miles away, and Louth.

Across a large town like Grimsby, homes range from older terraces to newer estates; the survey tells us which pipework and floor we are dealing with. If your Grimsby home has hard water, larger tiles and epoxy grout leave fewer joints for limescale to build up in. Tiling quotes in Grimsby list the tile, the area and the preparation separately, so you can compare like for like.

Most of Lincolnshire has hard water. 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

Measuring wall and floor areas and working out quantities with an allowance for cuts
Sealing natural stone and cleaning off grout haze before handover
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

Natural stone

Marble, limestone and travertine need sealing and gentle cleaners, and can mark. Stone-effect porcelain gives a similar look without the upkeep.

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.

Do you cover DN31 in Grimsby?

Yes. We cover all of Grimsby, including DN31, DN32 and DN34, and nearby Cleethorpes, Louth and Kingston upon Hull. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Do I need to tank a bathroom before tiling?

The shower area should always be tanked, because tiles and grout are not waterproof on their own. Around a bath with a shower over it, tanking the walls to above the shower head is sensible. A wet room needs the whole floor and the lower walls tanked.
