As well as Heckmondwike itself (WF13, WF15 and WF16), we survey in Liversedge, Batley and Cleckheaton.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Heckmondwike: free survey, written quote, one team. If you want a tiled shower floor in your Heckmondwike bathroom, the tanking and drainage are planned before the tile is chosen. Tiling quotes in Heckmondwike list the tile, the area and the preparation separately, so you can compare like for like.

Water across much of West Yorkshire is soft. 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

Sealing natural stone and cleaning off grout haze before handover
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
Measuring wall and floor areas and working out quantities with an allowance for cuts

Decisions to make first

Grout

Cement-based grout is standard. Epoxy grout resists stains and mould better and suits showers, but takes longer to apply and costs more.

Ceramic or porcelain

Ceramic is lighter, easier to cut and cheaper, and is fine on walls. Porcelain is denser and absorbs less water, so it suits floors and showers.

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.
