Tiler in Bexley

The Bexley postcodes run from Bexley village through Bexleyheath, Welling and Sidcup, and the housing is dominated by interwar and postwar suburban development.

What the housing means for tiling

Bexleyheath, Welling, Blackfen and much of Sidcup were built out in the 1930s, with a further wave of building after the war. That means a lot of semis and terraces of broadly similar layout: bay fronts, timber first floors, and bathrooms and kitchens that were sized for the period rather than for how people use them now.

Most of the work in housing like this is renovation rather than new build. Bathrooms get reconfigured, baths get replaced with walk-in showers, and kitchens get opened up. Each of those changes what the tiling needs. A walk-in shower needs the wall and often the floor tanked properly. An opened-up kitchen-diner usually means a single floor running through what used to be two rooms, which puts a movement joint somewhere it has to be planned rather than improvised.

Bexley village itself and pockets of older property around it have more period stock, with solid floors and original detail worth working around.
