FAQs
Tiling in East Grinstead: FAQs
Do you provide tiling across all of East Grinstead?
Yes, we cover the RH19 postcode area in full, including Ashurst Wood, Forest Row, Dormans Park, West Hoathly, Felbridge, Turners Hill, Imberhorne.
How do I know how much tile to order?
We measure the area and calculate quantity including an allowance for cuts and wastage, which varies by tile size and layout complexity — we confirm the figure once the design and layout are agreed.
Can you tile over existing tiles?
Sometimes, if the existing tiling is sound, flat and well-bonded, but it's not always advisable — it adds height that can affect door clearances and fittings, and any hidden problem with the old tiling is masked rather than fixed. We assess this on survey.
Can I extend a listed building in East Grinstead town centre?
Listed buildings require listed building consent for alterations that affect their character, in addition to any planning permission needed. We assess this on a case-by-case basis and can advise on the likely process.
