Working in Aston

We work right across Aston — B6, B7 and B19 — and in neighbouring Birmingham and Washwood Heath.

In Aston, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. Whatever the age of your Aston home, large-format tiles need flat walls, so the survey checks how much preparation they will take. For Aston flats, we check the lease and the floor build-up before laying hard tiles on a timber floor.

Water hardness varies across the West Midlands: some supplies are soft, others moderately hard or hard. 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
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
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.

Edges

Metal or PVC trims are quick and protect tile edges. Mitred edges look cleaner on porcelain and take more labour.

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.
