Working in Felling

We cover every part of Felling, including NE8, NE9 and NE10, and nearby Gateshead (1.4 miles) and Newcastle upon Tyne (2.2 miles).

Homes in and around Felling vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If your Felling home has hard water, larger tiles and epoxy grout leave fewer joints for limescale to build up in. Whatever the age of your Felling home, large-format tiles need flat walls, so the survey checks how much preparation they will take.

Most of Tyne and Wear is supplied with soft water. Soft water is kind to grout, so mid-tone and darker grouts stay looking fresh. 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
Checking walls for flatness and strength, and boarding with cement-based backer board where needed
Sealing natural stone and cleaning off grout haze before handover
Fixing with an adhesive suited to the tile and the surface, with levelling clips for large tiles

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.

Natural stone

Marble, limestone and travertine need sealing and gentle cleaners, and can mark. Stone-effect porcelain gives a similar look without the upkeep.

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.
