Working in Haydock

We work right across Haydock — WA11, WA12 and WN4 — and in neighbouring Ashton in Makerfield and St Helens.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Haydock: free survey, written quote, one team. Whatever the age of your Haydock home, large-format tiles need flat walls, so the survey checks how much preparation they will take. For Haydock flats, we check the lease and the floor build-up before laying hard tiles on a timber floor.

Water across much of Merseyside is 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

Checking walls for flatness and strength, and boarding with cement-based backer board where needed
Measuring wall and floor areas and working out quantities with an allowance for cuts
Sealing natural stone and cleaning off grout haze before handover
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.

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.

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.

What tiles are best for a bathroom floor?

Porcelain is usually the most practical bathroom floor tile, because it absorbs very little water and wears well. Choose a matt or textured finish with a slip rating of R10 or above. Our bathroom tiles guide covers sizes and finishes in more detail.
