To each job and project of every size I bring knowledge, experience and enthusiasm to best install the many types and styles of tiles.

 

Tiling is a craft - learnt, then honed over years and through the many and various situations and tile types that tilers deal with.  

The work I do is of high quality and I intend to give a high service standard for my clients; from initial contact through to final clean the intent is to achieve as good a job as possible in all respects, and guide where needed in the various aspects to be considered in tile installations.

 

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, 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 central London and nationally on 'grand' house projects in England and the Highlands of Scotland. 

Also internationally:  in Paris [in the 16th] & St. Tropez - France. In Puerto Banus - Spain. In NY - USA,  and most recently Christchurch - New Zealand where we moved & re-based to in 2019.

 

Most of my work comes through referral, recommendation and repeat business. 

The scope of the works I do can involve the building and prepartion of walls and floors, specifiying the materials and background systems to form these to the correct standard to then be tiled. 

In the last decade or so wet-rooms, drained tiled floors and under-tile heating have become available to all where they were once something we did bespoke for higher value budgets - but these are specialised elements of tiling works and need care and expertise to carry out successfully.
