Working in Cramlington

Homes in and around Cramlington vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. Tiling quotes in Cramlington list the tile, the area and the preparation separately, so you can compare like for like. For Cramlington flats, we check the lease and the floor build-up before laying hard tiles on a timber floor.

Supplies across most of Northumberland 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

Setting out so cuts are even and joints line up with niches, windows and edges
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
Grouting, trims or mitred edges, and silicone at internal corners, the bath and the tray

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.

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.

Is the home survey in Cramlington really free?

Yes. We visit, measure the room, check the pipework, drainage and electrics, and talk through what you want. You then get a written, itemised quote with no obligation to go ahead.

Do you cover NE22 in Cramlington?

Yes. We cover all of Cramlington, including NE22, NE23 and NE24, and nearby Bedlington, Blyth and Gosforth. 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.
