While there are those that want the familiar wooden floor boards in their hallway and others who would prefer a carpet, there is a growing trend with residents in Towns and Cities in Scotland and the North of England to refurbish their homes hallway in a style that matches their original appearance. And that can frequently mean the tiling of your hallway in a Victorian Style.
So many homes once featured these stunning mosaic patterned tiled hallways that formed a dramatic and powerful visual statement for all who entered your home. These tiles were proud features of so many homes of the time yet as we all know – time is an enemy to all. Heavy foot traffic, neglect, poor maintenance and a million other reasons have seen so many of the tiled hallways of homes across Glasgow ripped up and replaced with carpet and laminates. We have even experienced a home where the tiles had simply been painted over.
It is now becoming a popular choice to restore homeowners period Victorian hallway tiling. At Were, we are constantly asked about either refurbishing an existing tiled hallway to its former glory or fitting an entirely new mosaic patterned floor to replace the old and shabby carpets and laminates.

Brian from Newcastle We were replacing a carpet in our hall and discovered the original Victorian tiling was still there. Andrew came to our home, looked at the tiling and gave us a quote with no hassle. His attention to detail and careful and methodical approach are clear in the end results. We are so delighted with the work that he has done. We never thought about having a tiled hallway but we are more than delighted with the results and it has increased the value of our home considerably.
Andy from Glasgow We were looking for our Storm Door area and hallway to have a matching contemporary geometric tile design to them. We want a modern take that worked with our period Victorian home. Andrew was one of three tilers we call. He was the only one who took any measurements and really looked at the set up that we wanted. We went Were because they seemed to know what they were talking about and we were impressed with their detailed quote breakdown. It meant we knew exactly what to expect. And the end result - we could not be more happy with the end results. Our hallway looks better than ever.
