Working in Lichfield

We cover every part of Lichfield, including WS13, and nearby Burntwood (4.3 miles) and Tamworth (6.3 miles).

In Lichfield, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. For Lichfield flats, we check the lease and the floor build-up before laying hard tiles on a timber floor. Whatever the age of your Lichfield home, large-format tiles need flat walls, so the survey checks how much preparation they will take.

Most of Staffordshire has moderately hard water. 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

Grouting, trims or mitred edges, and silicone at internal corners, the bath and the tray
Measuring wall and floor areas and working out quantities with an allowance for cuts
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

Decisions to make first

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.

Ceramic or porcelain

Ceramic is lighter, easier to cut and cheaper, and is fine on walls. Porcelain is denser and absorbs less water, so it suits floors and showers.

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.

Can you tile over existing bathroom tiles?

Sometimes, but it is rarely the right choice. Tiling over tiles adds weight, brings the wall forward so trims and fittings no longer line up, and hides any loose tiles or water damage underneath. It is only worth considering where the old tiles are firmly bonded and the wall can take the extra load.
