Working in Kidderminster

As well as Kidderminster itself (DY10 and DY11), we survey in Stourport-on-Severn, Stourbridge and Kingswinford.

Homes in and around Kidderminster vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. For Kidderminster flats, we check the lease and the floor build-up before laying hard tiles on a timber floor. We measure tiled areas in Kidderminster bathrooms on site, so the quote is based on real square metres.

Water across much of Worcestershire is moderately hard. Mid-tone grout and matt tiles hide the odd water mark better than dark grout and high gloss. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

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

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.

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.
