Working in West Molesey

As well as West Molesey itself (KT8, KT12 and KT13), we survey in East Molesey, Sunbury-on-Thames and Walton-on-Thames.

West Molesey gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If you want a tiled shower floor in your West Molesey bathroom, the tanking and drainage are planned before the tile is chosen. For West Molesey flats, we check the lease and the floor build-up before laying hard tiles on a timber floor.

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

Floor preparation: overlaying timber floors with ply or backer board, or levelling a screed
Measuring wall and floor areas and working out quantities with an allowance for cuts
Tanking the shower area and the walls around the bath with a waterproof membrane or liquid system
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.
