Working in Acocks Green

In Acocks Green we cover B25, B26 and B27; we also cover Shirley, 2.7 miles away, and Solihull.

Homes in and around Acocks Green vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If your Acocks Green home has hard water, larger tiles and epoxy grout leave fewer joints for limescale to build up in. Tiling quotes in Acocks Green list the tile, the area and the preparation separately, so you can compare like for like.

Supplies across the West Midlands range from soft to hard depending on the source. Mid-tone grout and matt tiles hide the odd water mark better than dark grout and high gloss. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

Checking walls for flatness and strength, and boarding with cement-based backer board where needed
Floor preparation: overlaying timber floors with ply or backer board, or levelling a screed
Fixing with an adhesive suited to the tile and the surface, with levelling clips for large tiles
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.

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.

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.
