Our Work

Photographs, not promises

Tiling is one of the few trades where you can judge the work from a photograph. Look at where the pattern meets the border, whether the cuts around a door frame or a drain are cut to the line, and whether the joints stay true across the whole floor. That is what these show. We work for homeowners, for builders and developers, and for designers working to a specification.

Traditional floors

Halls, porches, paths and steps

The work Mickey is best known for. Every one of these is set out from scratch and cut to the space it sits in, so the pattern resolves cleanly at the borders and arrives square at the threshold. The full detail is on the Victorian and geometric floor tiling page.

Geometric porch floor in dark charcoal, pale grey and off-white laid in a four-point star pattern, turning the corner around a rendered pillar

Glossy geometric floor tiling in burnt orange, terracotta, brown, tan and cream with steel-blue centres to black-and-cream star motifs, edged by a black-and-white triangle border

Geometric floor tiles in sage-green, salmon-pink, black and cream laid on the diagonal, with wide grey banding and a salmon-pink border line

Geometric porch floor in dark charcoal-brown, pale grey and off-white in a four-point star pattern, at a white panelled front door with leaded glass

Diamond-patterned front path in white, grey and black with a black-and-white triangle border, leading to steps faced in plain charcoal tiles

Charcoal, mid-grey and white tiles laid diagonally in a diamond pattern with a dark grey border, forming an entrance panel at the foot of a stone step

Bathrooms and showers

Large-format tile, tight tolerances

Big tiles punish a background that is nearly flat, and every niche, drain and valve is a test of the setting out. More on how these go together on the bathroom and wet room tiling page.

Before and after

The same room, retiled

Beige travertine-effect tile and a quadrant shower enclosure, replaced with dark slate-effect tile, a walk-in shower and a freestanding bath. Same footprint, same window, same door.

It is the clearest illustration of what tiling actually decides in a bathroom. Nothing structural moved. The room reads completely differently because the surfaces, the tile format and the setting out changed.

Kitchens and communal floors

Large floors, and the trade work behind them

A kitchen floor that runs through into a dining space is one continuous plane with nowhere to hide a dip, and the bigger the tile, the less forgiving it gets. Setting out starts from where the eye lands, not from the nearest wall.

Alongside the domestic work we take on large building projects, on a supply-and-fix or labour-only basis, and we work to a designer's or architect's specification where there is one. Builders, developers and plumbers make up a good part of what we do.
