Most used tile supplier

[Old Mod]

I don't supply a great deal of materials and I haven't supplied tiles for many years now, not since I got burnt in the recession in the early 90's!
I took a large national supplier for a few grand and it's never sat right with me since, massive regret.
I stopped supplying, period!
Only started supplying materials again in the last few years, before that all I sold, was my hands.

So now I suppose the suppliers I use most are Worlds End Tiles in Battersea (CTD) and CTD in Walton on Thames (Hampton Court)
But I've cast my vote for Worlds End cos I use that depot a little more.

I've started to use Lilley Tile and Stone for all my Schluter Systems orders.
Stuart and his dad are great people and knowledgable!
When I placed my first order Stuart's dad brought it to site personally just so that he could say hi and introduce company.
He did forget a couple of bits tho haha, but they were in my grubby paws within 24hrs by Royal Mail courier.
Even their online price often beats CTD comfortably, their stock range is far more comprehensive too, which means next day for pretty much anything.
Plus I don't pay the online price anyway
.......and they carry a comprehensive stock of Mapei products!

Need to give Bleakleys Tiles & Absolute ceramics (same company)
an honoury mention too.
Small independent company, I believe of 50yrs, based in Thames Ditton & Hersham. (Johnnyc territory)
I've been doing a fair bit of work through them and they are a Tilemaster stockist that's where I got my first bag.
I'm also able to get materials out of hours too, as long as I call in the day. So whilst I'm unable to get most of my mats from there, they're certainly worthy of some kudos!

I use Monarch Tiles in Redditch (an independent) for my adhesives and grout, I send my customers to them to buy tiles, and I do most of their heating work for their own fit outs so it works well all round. There's a topps a couple of doors down from them but I've never felt I've had the same prices or service from them.

(I'm not teaching people to suck eggs here, my style is to not ram guides down your throats. It's to tell you when there's a quicker way for you to do it.)

As for the thread, is harp not a small / independent firm then?

Can't seem to do the highlighting thing on my phone..
Yes Harp is only an independent but they have a deal with Webber so they supply them exclusively (in this area) direct without the need for a middleman, therefore their trade prices reflect this.
