Restoring damaged, crumbling Victorian tiled floors can increase the value of the property and these original period fixtures have become a much desired feature of homes across the UK. While geometric floor tiling was only originally seen in Churches and public buildings, by the 1890s, Victorian Geometric floor tiling had become a must for standard Victorian houses. However by the 60’s, so many of these tiled floors were being ripped up or covered over with carpets and laminate flooring.

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.
