Working in East Grinstead
As well as East Grinstead itself (RH19), we survey in Horley, Crawley and Crowborough.
Homes in and around East Grinstead 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 East Grinstead bathroom, the tanking and drainage are planned before the tile is chosen. For East Grinstead flats, we check the lease and the floor build-up before laying hard tiles on a timber floor.
Most of West Sussex 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
- Measuring wall and floor areas and working out quantities with an allowance for cuts
- Grouting, trims or mitred edges, and silicone at internal corners, the bath and the tray
- 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
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.
Grout
Cement-based grout is standard. Epoxy grout resists stains and mould better and suits showers, but takes longer to apply and costs more.
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.
