Working in Hebburn

We cover every part of Hebburn, including NE28, NE31 and NE32, and nearby Jarrow (1.3 miles) and Wallsend (1.4 miles).

Hebburn gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. Tiling quotes in Hebburn list the tile, the area and the preparation separately, so you can compare like for like. For Hebburn flats, we check the lease and the floor build-up before laying hard tiles on a timber floor.

Supplies across most of Tyne and Wear are soft. 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

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
Measuring wall and floor areas and working out quantities with an allowance for cuts
Grouting, trims or mitred edges, and silicone at internal corners, the bath and the tray

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.

Ceramic or porcelain

Ceramic is lighter, easier to cut and cheaper, and is fine on walls. Porcelain is denser and absorbs less water, so it suits floors and showers.

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.
