Working in Burntwood

We work right across Burntwood — WS7 — and in neighbouring Great Wyrley and Lichfield.

In Burntwood, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your Burntwood home has hard water, larger tiles and epoxy grout leave fewer joints for limescale to build up in. If you want a tiled shower floor in your Burntwood bathroom, the tanking and drainage are planned before the tile is chosen.

Supplies across most of Staffordshire 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

Measuring wall and floor areas and working out quantities with an allowance for cuts
Setting out so cuts are even and joints line up with niches, windows and edges
Checking walls for flatness and strength, and boarding with cement-based backer board where needed
Fixing with an adhesive suited to the tile and the surface, with levelling clips for large tiles

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.
