Working in Chapeltown

We work right across Chapeltown — S5, S35 and S74 — and in neighbouring Hoyland Nether and Wombwell.

Chapeltown gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. Whatever the age of your Chapeltown 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 Chapeltown bathroom, the tanking and drainage are planned before the tile is chosen.

Supplies across most of South Yorkshire 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

Setting out so cuts are even and joints line up with niches, windows and edges
Floor preparation: overlaying timber floors with ply or backer board, or levelling a screed
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

Grout

Cement-based grout is standard. Epoxy grout resists stains and mould better and suits showers, but takes longer to apply and costs more.

Natural stone

Marble, limestone and travertine need sealing and gentle cleaners, and can mark. Stone-effect porcelain gives a similar look without the upkeep.

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 Chapeltown?

Do bathroom tiles need sealing?

Glazed ceramic and porcelain tiles do not need sealing, but natural stone such as marble, limestone and travertine does, and some unglazed porcelain benefits from it. Cement-based grout can be sealed to slow staining; epoxy grout does not need it.
