Working in Castleford

As well as Castleford itself (WF6 and WF10), we survey in Kippax, Pontefract and Lofthouse.

Homes in and around Castleford 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 Castleford bathroom, the tanking and drainage are planned before the tile is chosen. We measure tiled areas in Castleford bathrooms on site, so the quote is based on real square metres.

Most of West Yorkshire is supplied with soft water. Soft water is kind to grout, so mid-tone and darker grouts stay looking fresh. 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
Floor preparation: overlaying timber floors with ply or backer board, or levelling a screed
Checking walls for flatness and strength, and boarding with cement-based backer board where needed
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.

Natural stone

Marble, limestone and travertine need sealing and gentle cleaners, and can mark. Stone-effect porcelain gives a similar look without the upkeep.

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.
