Intricate mosaic designs covering lettering, numbers, vines, flowers, motifs and so much more. The intricate mosaic designs were truly something to be seen and were a statement for those that walked through entrance vestibules that contained them.
Sadly time is an enemy to us all and throughout the grand homes of Glasgow, Newcastle and Edinburgh, one by one, these stunning mosaic tiling features have been the victims of a lack of proper maintenance, excessive foot traffic, the vibration of increased road traffic and of course the weather that so frequently hits Scotland and the North of England.
This poor maintenance, combined with previous decades ‘styles’ has led to so many of these mosaic entrance vestibules having been ripped up, tiled over, carpeted or boarded up.

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.
