Working in King's Lynn

We cover every part of King's Lynn, including PE30, and nearby Wisbech (11.5 miles) and March (18.9 miles).

Homes in and around King's Lynn vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. For King's Lynn flats, we check the lease and the floor build-up before laying hard tiles on a timber floor. If you want a tiled shower floor in your King's Lynn bathroom, the tanking and drainage are planned before the tile is chosen.

Water across much of Norfolk is very hard. 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

Checking walls for flatness and strength, and boarding with cement-based backer board where needed
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
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.

Edges

Metal or PVC trims are quick and protect tile edges. Mitred edges look cleaner on porcelain and take more labour.

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.
