Working in Tamworth

As well as Tamworth itself (B77 and B78), we survey in Lichfield, Sutton Coldfield and Aldridge.

Across a large town like Tamworth, homes range from older terraces to newer estates; the survey tells us which pipework and floor we are dealing with. Tiling quotes in Tamworth list the tile, the area and the preparation separately, so you can compare like for like. We measure tiled areas in Tamworth bathrooms on site, so the quote is based on real square metres.

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

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
Setting out so cuts are even and joints line up with niches, windows and edges

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.

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.
