Working in Royal Leamington Spa
As well as Royal Leamington Spa itself (CV31, CV32 and CV33), we survey in Warwick, Kenilworth and Coventry.
Homes in and around Royal Leamington Spa 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 Royal Leamington Spa bathroom, the tanking and drainage are planned before the tile is chosen. If your Royal Leamington Spa home has hard water, larger tiles and epoxy grout leave fewer joints for limescale to build up in.
Water across much of Warwickshire is hard. 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
- 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
- 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
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
