Working in Wellington

We cover every part of Wellington, including TF1 and TF5, and nearby Telford (3.3 miles) and Shrewsbury (9.9 miles).

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Wellington: free survey, written quote, one team. For Wellington flats, we check the lease and the floor build-up before laying hard tiles on a timber floor. Tiling quotes in Wellington list the tile, the area and the preparation separately, so you can compare like for like.

Water across much of Shropshire is 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

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
Fixing with an adhesive suited to the tile and the surface, with levelling clips for large tiles
Measuring wall and floor areas and working out quantities with an allowance for cuts

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.
