Working in Farnham

We cover every part of Farnham, including GU9 and GU10, and nearby Aldershot (2.8 miles) and Fleet (5 miles).

Homes in and around Farnham vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If you want a tiled shower floor in your Farnham bathroom, the tanking and drainage are planned before the tile is chosen. We measure tiled areas in Farnham bathrooms on site, so the quote is based on real square metres.

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

Sealing natural stone and cleaning off grout haze before handover
Tanking the shower area and the walls around the bath with a waterproof membrane or liquid system
Fixing with an adhesive suited to the tile and the surface, with levelling clips for large tiles
Floor preparation: overlaying timber floors with ply or backer board, or levelling a screed

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.

Floor grip

For a bathroom floor, choose a matt or textured tile with a slip rating of R10 or above. Smaller tiles with more grout lines grip better in a shower.

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.
