I bought a old victorian house last year. I have taken up the old victorian tiled pathway as it was dangerous to walk on, in a dire state, tiles missing, it had heaved and the concrete had deteriated/blown. I broke out the old concrete and put a new slab in (approx 100mm depth) and it will be...

Hi,
I'm looking for a tiler in the Liverpool area who would be able to quote for laying a victorian style black and white path on an area approximately 2m sq. I also have a slightly larger area in front of a bay window which requires tiling but in a block colour, with no preference for style...

Not sure how old this picture is (approx 25+ years) but I can remember it as my very first Victorian job.
Fortunately the customer knew exactly what design...

After reading timeless johns thread and seeing that blindin hallway he layed it got me thinking about when I did my course. We never actually covered anything about Victorian or geometric tiling.

Hello there, long time reader, first time poster. Good forum!
My father has just begun trying to renovate his hallway floor using a seemingly random assortment of nasty chemicals. He first scrubbed it with Cillit Bang and steel wool, then Flash, and most recently he's been using a mixture of...
We tiled a large property 12 months ago and was asked at that time to look at the side entrance porch - I bought all the mosaic + additional materials - set it out and designed the 'Name'.
Then we were away working for a couple of months and heard nothing!

Can anybody help restore original tiles I discovered when I uplifted a carpet in my downstairs hall? A number of local tilers have visited & shook their heads. There's not much damage, thankfully - about 5 tiles need replacing & there are some chips where previous occupants nailed down their...

Hi,
We have an old Victorian house & are putting a new suite into the corner of the master bedroom. We've taken the skirting boards off around the walls where the ensuite build now stands (to be able to get the plumbing, electrics, etc. in before plastering).
We're now at the stage where we...
