Working in Egham

As well as Egham itself (TW20), we survey in Staines, Chertsey and Ashford.

In Egham, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your Egham 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 Egham bathroom, the tanking and drainage are planned before the tile is chosen.

Most of Surrey has hard water. 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
Fixing with an adhesive suited to the tile and the surface, with levelling clips for large tiles
Sealing natural stone and cleaning off grout haze before handover
Grouting, trims or mitred edges, and silicone at internal corners, the bath and the tray

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.

Edges

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

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.
