Hello,
I've removed a door in my kitchen and I'm planning on tiling over the area.
It looks like the rest of the floor has been taken up at some point and a concrete and DPM put in before re-installing the quarry tiles.
The area under the wall is straight onto earth. I want to tile over this...
Hi. Looking for some opinions/advice. I am looking for tiles that would be a good match for my front doorstep for tiles that have since been removed and discarded (potentially sadly). They were 6" red Victorian/Edwardian, not sure if they were original or not, they were poorly fitted with very...
Merry Chrimbo Tilers!
We just bought an arts and craft house built in 1922 and the house has original terracotta tiles in the bathroom which have been painted in parts. I’d like to remove the gloss paint and then protect the tiles from water damage as they are in the bathroom.
I’ve read lots of...
Help! I have Victorian quarry tiles laid on dirt. I’ve just spent days cleaning them first with HG cement, mortar & efflorescence remover as there were little bits of cement here and there after steam cleaning, then with HG Terracotta Remover. The previous owners I think just put polish over...

Hi All,
I'm trying to find a match for these tiles which are 343mm square and came from Wickes about 20 years ago. Anybody got any ideas? Bit of a long shot I know
Thanks

Hi Guys,
A customer is enquiring about UFH mat under porcelain tiles but there is already well fixed quarry tiles down. He is keen to keep the floor as low as possible but I think removing the quarry tiles would be a nightmare.
Do I need to lay an insulation mat below or could I go straight...

Hi I'm looking for some advice on tiling over quarry tiles in my porch with some new ceramic tiles.
The existing tiles are sound and generally level, so my plan is to apply self levelling compound over the top to get a nice smooth surface, and then tile on top.
My only concern though is that my...
when my quarry tile is wet the water beads in only some areas. when the tile is dry it looks blotchy....matt finish vs satin finish (where the sealant still is). I have sanded, stripped, etc. and the remaining sealant will not come off. I scraped with a razor blade and nothing happens. Can...
I've attached a pic. They are 15 x 15 quarry tiles. Cream/beige in colour with a brown speckle. I have scoured the internet and can't find them anywhere.
They are on a front doorstep. They are also on the doorsteps of just about every council house in the area, but still can't find them
Thanks...
I think my question has been partly answered by @Andrew near the very end of this thread, but would like to double check and ask an additional question.
I am not a tiler.

100 year old terrace house. Front room appears to have original (or very old) quarry tiles on top of...
Hi all
I plan to tile a porch floor that has a rough screed finish at present.
There is a damp area at the moment but that's because of an overflowing waterbutt outside the porch which will be addressed and then allowed time to dry out.
I really need to know the best process for laying the...
Hi Everyone,
I was hoping someone could give me some advice for how I can get some floor tiles in my kitchen.
I'm in the process of refitting it with help from my father in law. The original floor was vinyl, on top of a mostly crumbled self levelling cement on top of some very unlevel quarry...
Hi.. Just purchased a Victorian house, has quarry tiles in the entire basement. I initially thought I would have it tiled over completely as though they are in good condition, I'm not crazy about the tan/terracotta-y colour. Someone has suggested I stain them with a concrete stain then seal...
Hi
I'm Alex. Amateur working on my old house.
I'm getting a stove installed in a room with an open fireplace.
The stove can sit on a hearth of 12mm. The room is already covered in historic quarry tiles. They've never been sealed.
I figured I'd use a second layer of 12mm quarry tiles on top to...
What's the best way to remove in order to retile the floor phrase?
My son's new house is an escalating Victorian nightmare right now.
We've just found quarry tiles under vinyl flooring, but most are very broken, some with deep chunks out so not at all salvageable like we hoped.
Have seen one...
Can any give me some advice on how to deal with a problem with a floor in a Victorian house.
The quarry tiles have been lifted and the customer wants to keep the floors level when finished. Here lies the problem as insulation board and ufh (electric) is going down well which means excavating the...
