Bathroom Tiling in Alconbury
Bathroom tiling in an Alconbury home is genuinely two different jobs depending on which side of the village you're in. The Weald new-builds are forgiving substrates — modern plasterboard, level floors, no surprises. The old village cottages on the high street are not — lath-and-plaster walls, uneven floors, original lime render that needs careful handling. The prep determines whether the job lasts twenty years or fails in two.
Alconbury's split housing means we tile two very different kinds of property. The Alconbury Weald new-builds have plasterboard walls that need a primer or board upgrade before tiling can start, but the substrate is generally sound and the floors are reasonably level. The old village side — Edwardian and inter-war cottages on the high street — often has lath-and-plaster walls or original lime render that needs a tile-backer board fitted before we even open a box, and floors that are rarely level enough to tile straight onto.
For Alconbury bathroom and kitchen tiling jobs we use porcelain, ceramic, natural stone, and large-format tiles up to 1200mm. Splashbacks, full retiles, kitchen floors, hallway runs in the older village properties — we cover the lot. Every finished job gets sealed at the joints so the limescale from the chalk supply doesn't get into the grout in the first six months.
