Working in Walsall

As well as Walsall itself (WS1, WS2, WS4 and 1 more postcode districts), we survey in Wednesbury, Wednesfield and West Bromwich.

Across a large town like Walsall, homes range from older terraces to newer estates; the survey tells us which pipework and floor we are dealing with. Whatever the age of your Walsall home, large-format tiles need flat walls, so the survey checks how much preparation they will take. We measure tiled areas in Walsall bathrooms on site, so the quote is based on real square metres.

Hardness differs from one part of the West Midlands to the next. 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

Setting out so cuts are even and joints line up with niches, windows and edges
Sealing natural stone and cleaning off grout haze before handover
Grouting, trims or mitred edges, and silicone at internal corners, the bath and the tray
Floor preparation: overlaying timber floors with ply or backer board, or levelling a screed

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.

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.

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.
