Working in Ossett

As well as Ossett itself (WF5, WF12 and WF13), we survey in Dewsbury, Batley and Wakefield.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Ossett: free survey, written quote, one team. For Ossett flats, we check the lease and the floor build-up before laying hard tiles on a timber floor. We measure tiled areas in Ossett 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

Tanking the shower area and the walls around the bath with a waterproof membrane or liquid system
Checking walls for flatness and strength, and boarding with cement-based backer board where needed
Grouting, trims or mitred edges, and silicone at internal corners, the bath and the tray
Fixing with an adhesive suited to the tile and the surface, with levelling clips for large tiles

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.

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.

Glazed ceramic and porcelain tiles do not need sealing, but natural stone such as marble, limestone and travertine does, and some unglazed porcelain benefits from it. Cement-based grout can be sealed to slow staining; epoxy grout does not need it.
