Working in Lofthouse

In Lofthouse we cover LS10, LS26 and WF3; we also cover Wakefield, 3.2 miles away, and Morley.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Lofthouse: free survey, written quote, one team. If your Lofthouse home has hard water, larger tiles and epoxy grout leave fewer joints for limescale to build up in. For Lofthouse 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

Tanking the shower area and the walls around the bath with a waterproof membrane or liquid system
Floor preparation: overlaying timber floors with ply or backer board, or levelling a screed
Setting out so cuts are even and joints line up with niches, windows and edges
Grouting, trims or mitred edges, and silicone at internal corners, the bath and the tray

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.

Yes. We cover all of Lofthouse, including LS10, LS26 and WF3, and nearby Wakefield, Morley and Ossett. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.
