Working in Morley

We cover every part of Morley, including LS11, LS27 and WF17, and nearby Batley (2.9 miles) and Dewsbury (3.6 miles).

In Morley, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your Morley home has hard water, larger tiles and epoxy grout leave fewer joints for limescale to build up in. If you want a tiled shower floor in your Morley bathroom, the tanking and drainage are planned before the tile is chosen.

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
Sealing natural stone and cleaning off grout haze before handover
Floor preparation: overlaying timber floors with ply or backer board, or levelling a screed
Fixing with an adhesive suited to the tile and the surface, with levelling clips for large tiles

Decisions to make first

Natural stone

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

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.

Do you cover LS11 in Morley?

Yes. We cover all of Morley, including LS11, LS27 and WF17, and nearby Batley, Dewsbury and Heckmondwike. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Can you tile over existing bathroom tiles?

Sometimes, but it is rarely the right choice. Tiling over tiles adds weight, brings the wall forward so trims and fittings no longer line up, and hides any loose tiles or water damage underneath. It is only worth considering where the old tiles are firmly bonded and the wall can take the extra load.
