Working in Horsforth

As well as Horsforth itself (LS16, LS18 and LS19), we survey in Yeadon, Pudsey and Guiseley.

Horsforth gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. We measure tiled areas in Horsforth bathrooms on site, so the quote is based on real square metres. For Horsforth flats, we check the lease and the floor build-up before laying hard tiles on a timber floor.

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

Measuring wall and floor areas and working out quantities with an allowance for cuts
Floor preparation: overlaying timber floors with ply or backer board, or levelling a screed
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

Decisions to make first

Floor grip

For a bathroom floor, choose a matt or textured tile with a slip rating of R10 or above. Smaller tiles with more grout lines grip better in a shower.

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.
