Working in Telford

We cover every part of Telford, including TF4, and nearby Shrewsbury (12.9 miles) and Wolverhampton (15.1 miles).

Across a large town like Telford, homes range from older terraces to newer estates; the survey tells us which pipework and floor we are dealing with. Whatever the age of your Telford home, large-format tiles need flat walls, so the survey checks how much preparation they will take. If you want a tiled shower floor in your Telford bathroom, the tanking and drainage are planned before the tile is chosen.

Supplies across most of Shropshire are moderately hard. Mid-tone grout and matt tiles hide the odd water mark better than dark grout and high gloss. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

Tanking the shower area and the walls around the bath with a waterproof membrane or liquid system
Measuring wall and floor areas and working out quantities with an allowance for cuts
Checking walls for flatness and strength, and boarding with cement-based backer board where needed
Setting out so cuts are even and joints line up with niches, windows and edges

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.

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.

Who handles building control for bathroom tiling in Telford?

Building control for Telford is handled by the local council or an approved inspector. If your job needs sign-off — for example a new circuit, new drainage or a new extractor where there was none — we tell you at the survey and handle the notification as part of the work.

Can you tile over existing bathroom tiles?

Sometimes, but it is rarely the right choice. Tiling over tiles adds weight, brings the wall forward so trims and fittings no longer line up, and hides any loose tiles or water damage underneath. It is only worth considering where the old tiles are firmly bonded and the wall can take the extra load.
