Handmade Tile Installation in South London

Handmade tiles vary in size, thickness, edge and colour from one tile to the next, and that variation is exactly what you are paying for. They are a different job from machine-made tile.

I fit zellige, hand-formed terracotta, crackle glazes and artisan metro tiles on walls, splashbacks and shower enclosures.

Each tile is bedded individually so the faces sit in plane, and joints are adjusted across the wall to keep courses level. It is slower work, so talk to me before you order — the tile choice affects the labour significantly. Free quotes.

Other services

Porcelain TilingHard-wearing and low maintenance, and the right choice for most busy floors. Large format and rectified tiles need flat substrates and careful setting out.
Ceramic TilingThe traditional choice for walls and splashbacks. Easier to cut and lighter than porcelain, which makes it well suited to vertical work.
Natural Stone TilingMarble, limestone, travertine and slate. Beautiful, but unforgiving. Sealing and adhesive choice matter as much as the setting out.
Victorian Floor TilingGeometric hallway and porch floors. Almost entirely a setting-out job, and the part that decides whether it looks right.
Mosaic TilingShower walls, niches, borders and feature panels. Sheet alignment and grout choice are what separate a neat mosaic from a busy one.
Wall TilingBathrooms, showers, splashbacks and utility rooms. Preparation and setting out decide the result long before the first tile goes up.
