the tile association

The Tile Association for the whole tile industry in the UK
The Tile Association was started some time ago. It was two associations joining forces, a retailers one and a Tile fixers one, if I remember it correctly.

We feed their news to the forum here: https://www.tilersforums.com/forums/tiling-news-tile-news.345/

There are benefits of being a wall and floor tile fixer who has joined TTA such as an internal newsletter, access to British Standards, back-up from them when products fail and you need a report saying so, and you get listed on their website which has good feels for your own website (Google likes quality links), and actual humans who search for a tiler know they get a quality one from The Tile Association website unlike with check my builder type websites that don't know tiling so can't vet people who claim to be one.

There are lots of other benefits too. Checkout their website Tiles.org.uk.

    Tiling floor with mosaic of broken terracotta roof tiles & slate

    Hi everyone at Tilers, I am restoring one of the ruins on my land in Extremadura. The ruin has beautiful dry stone walls but the terracotta roof is leaky and the floor is just concrete and it would be good to liven it up a bit. I would like to tile the floor and would love it if you could give...

    Teracotta floor tiles

    Hi. It looks as though the plumber may have to remove some of the teracotta floor tiles on our kitchen floor because we have a leak coming from a pipe underneath. He has promised to try and be careful not to break them but will a tiler be able just to grout them in again without too much trouble.

    Restoring terracotta pavers

    Hi chaps, Just moved into a new house and to say the floor has been abused would be an understatement. It looks as if someone went to a lot of effort and expense to lay them then simply didn't bother to clean them again. Up until now I've used LTP power stripper (1:4 dose, 3 applications)...

    TTA Awards 2011

    The Tile Association is undoubtedly a worthy body and I imagine that their annual awards dinner is a suitably corporate event - but with tickets at about £100 a throw, I guess that your average tile fixer wont be attending. First off - anyone from here attending? Secondly - the mind...
