BATHROOM INSTALLATION

Walls are taken back to bare plaster or brick and checked for structural integrity, and to ensure that walls are plumb, and square.

Floor are assessed for structural integrity, including floorboards, joists and other timbers.  Sub-Floor structures are often found to be damaged by slow, but continued water ingress over many years, and when installing a tile floor, it is important to ensure that the floor is capable of resisting any kind of deflection which can otherwise cause damage newly installed floor tiling.

Timber batons have been installed in this situation to ensure the area where the bath will be installed is square.

Often in older properties, walls do not meet at exactly 90 degrees which can cause a problem with bath installation.

We also take the opportunity to re-point any badly damaged brickwork whilst everything is exposed.

In wet areas, the material chosen as a substrate for tiling plays a crucial role in the durability and longevity of the tilework. For this reason, we typically use cement-based boards as our go-to substrate in these environments.

Cement-based boards are an excellent choice for wet areas due to their inherent resistance to moisture. Unlike other materials such as plywood or gypsum, cement-based boards are not susceptible to warping or degradation when exposed to water. This makes them an ideal choice for areas that will frequently be in contact with water, such as bathrooms or wet rooms.

Moreover, these tiling boards must provide superior resistance to moisture to prevent issues such as mold growth or structural damage. Tiles installed onto a cement-based board create a solid, stable surface that can withstand the rigors of a wet environment, ensuring that your tiled areas remain secure, functional, and aesthetically pleasing for many years to come.

By using cement-based boards, we can assure our clients of a high-quality, durable installation that will stand up to the demands of daily use in wet areas, thus enhancing the overall value and comfort of their homes or commercial properties.

Tiling is performed using cement based adhesives and grout. 

Metal edges have been installed around the window frame, and around any exposed tile edge.

 In this situation, our client wanted to be able to use the bathroom as much as possible throughout the build, and we did our best to accommodate this by re-installing the old shower and a temporary screen between construction days.  

In this particular project, we utiliised a sophisticated tile levelling system. This advanced technique guarantees that all tiles are precisely aligned on the same plane, ensuring a flawless and visually stunning finish."
