Colin has a strong reputation, stretching back 3 decades based in his hometown of London for consistently carrying out work of high quality; for his attention to detail on projects both large and small, and in particular for doing jobs with more demanding requirements such as bespoke mosaics, individual types of tiles and attention to detail - both in the work of fitting them and in service standards - from quote to clean-up.

An in-demand tiler from repeat business and referrals, Colin has been constantly busy over the years. He brings expertise, experience and enthusiasm to all his jobs
His focus on quality and doing the very best for every job gained him this good reputation early on - and led to him doing the tiling for many high value and prestigious projects.

Over the years I have been the tiler/sub-contractor for many high value and prestigious houses and projects.
My client list includes Sting, Kate Moss, Michael Bloomberg, The Sultan of Brunei, Barclay Brothers, Simon Cowell, Dawn French, Ozzy & Sharon Osbourne among others.
The TileMile project that I tiled won a Gold medal at the London design awards in 2014. (see project & press pages) and a piece of public art - the 'Pinch In Time' mural on Greenwich Peninsula, that I installed is seen daily by many thousands, being near the O2 arena.
My work has been primarily in all areas and boroughs of central London, and nationally on homes of note on landed estate projects in England and the Highlands of Scotland.
Also internationally: France - in Paris [in the 16th] & St. Tropez. In Spain - Puerto Banus. In USA - NY, and New Zealand - Christchurch.
Most of my work comes through referral, recommendation and repeat business.
The scope of the works I do can involve the building and preparation of walls and floors, specifiying the materials and background systems to form these to the correct standard to then be tiled.
