Working in Warwick

As well as Warwick itself (CV34), we survey in Royal Leamington Spa, Kenilworth and Stratford-upon-Avon.

In Warwick, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. Tiling quotes in Warwick list the tile, the area and the preparation separately, so you can compare like for like. Whatever the age of your Warwick home, large-format tiles need flat walls, so the survey checks how much preparation they will take.

Most of Warwickshire 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
Fixing with an adhesive suited to the tile and the surface, with levelling clips for large tiles
Tanking the shower area and the walls around the bath with a waterproof membrane or liquid system

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.

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.

Is the water hard in Warwick?

Should bathroom tiles go floor to ceiling?

Full-height tiling is easier to wipe clean and looks finished, but it adds area and cost. Tiling just the wet areas and using bathroom paint elsewhere is a reasonable way to save money in a well-ventilated room.
