Working in Ashford

In Ashford we cover TW15, TW16 and TW18; we also cover Staines, 2.1 miles away, and Feltham.

In Ashford, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your Ashford home has hard water, larger tiles and epoxy grout leave fewer joints for limescale to build up in. We measure tiled areas in Ashford bathrooms on site, so the quote is based on real square metres.

Supplies across most of Surrey are hard. Hard water leaves white marks on dark grout and gloss tiles, so matt finishes and stain-resistant grout are the practical choice. 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
Grouting, trims or mitred edges, and silicone at internal corners, the bath and the tray
Fixing with an adhesive suited to the tile and the surface, with levelling clips for large tiles
Tanking the shower area and the walls around the bath with a waterproof membrane or liquid system

Decisions to make first

Edges

Metal or PVC trims are quick and protect tile edges. Mitred edges look cleaner on porcelain and take more labour.

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.

Bathroom tiling in Ashford: questions

Yes. We visit, measure the room, check the pipework, drainage and electrics, and talk through what you want. You then get a written, itemised quote with no obligation to go ahead.

Do you cover TW15 in Ashford?

Is the water hard in Ashford?

Do I need to tank a bathroom before tiling?

The shower area should always be tanked, because tiles and grout are not waterproof on their own. Around a bath with a shower over it, tanking the walls to above the shower head is sensible. A wet room needs the whole floor and the lower walls tanked.
