Working in Bentley

We work right across Bentley — DN1, DN2 and DN5 — and in neighbouring Doncaster and Adwick le Street.

In Bentley, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. For Bentley flats, we check the lease and the floor build-up before laying hard tiles on a timber floor. If your Bentley home has hard water, larger tiles and epoxy grout leave fewer joints for limescale to build up in.

Water across much of South Yorkshire 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

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

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.

How long does bathroom tiling take?

Is the home survey in Bentley 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.

Can large tiles be used in a small bathroom?

Yes. Large-format tiles mean fewer grout lines, which can make a small room look calmer. They need flat walls and careful setting-out so that cuts are not left as thin slivers by the door or window.
