Services

More than the tiles themselves.

A good tiled finish starts with the surface underneath and ends with the grout and seal. We cover every stage, and the advice is free.

  1. 01

    Advice (free)

    Help choosing tiles and working out the layout before a single tile goes on the wall.

  2. 02

    Surface Preparation and Plastering

    Walls and floors prepared, re-boarded and skimmed so the tiling sits flat and stays put.

  3. 03

    Bathroom Installation

    The complete job, from stripping out the old suite to the last polished tile.

  4. 04

    Wet Rooms

    Wet rooms tiled in travertine mosaics, ceramic wall and floor tiles.

  5. 05

    Under floor heating

    Electric underfloor heating laid beneath the tiles, right through the shower area if you want it.

  6. 06

    Re-grouting

    Old grout raked out and replaced, so tired tiling looks fresh again.

  7. 07

    Tile and Stone Sealing Service

    Natural stone and grout sealed, including above the hob where fat and oil splash.

Adrian & Steve retiled our bathroom following a previously poor job by a different company, we are delighted with the service we received and the final finish of the bathroom. They were professional and helpful from start to finish. Taking time beforehand to explain what they would be doing and giving advice on choosing tiles. They provided solutions to my problems and shared ideas. They put up with me changing my mind and delivered exactly what we wanted. They worked really hard getting it completed when unexpected problems set them back. They have totally restored our faith in tradesmen and would recommend.
