Working in Wath upon Dearne
As well as Wath upon Dearne itself (S63, S64 and S73), we survey in Mexborough, Wombwell and Rawmarsh.
Wath upon Dearne gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If your Wath upon Dearne home has hard water, larger tiles and epoxy grout leave fewer joints for limescale to build up in. Whatever the age of your Wath upon Dearne home, large-format tiles need flat walls, so the survey checks how much preparation they will take.
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
- Fixing with an adhesive suited to the tile and the surface, with levelling clips for large tiles
- 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
- Tanking the shower area and the walls around the bath with a waterproof membrane or liquid system
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.
Grout
Cement-based grout is standard. Epoxy grout resists stains and mould better and suits showers, but takes longer to apply and costs more.
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.
