Working in Maghull

We work right across Maghull — L31 — and in neighbouring Kirkby and Litherland.

Homes in and around Maghull vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If you want a tiled shower floor in your Maghull bathroom, the tanking and drainage are planned before the tile is chosen. For Maghull 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

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
Sealing natural stone and cleaning off grout haze before handover
Grouting, trims or mitred edges, and silicone at internal corners, the bath and the tray

Decisions to make first

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.

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.

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.
