Topps Tiles?

[Peter]

I see there's the first NI branch of Topps Tiles opening about 2 miles from me at the end of the week. Right beside another independent tile shop, questionably.

Are there any good deals for materials in it or is it pretty expensive by and large? What brands do they stock? Usually have to go to the other side of town for the premium/specialist stuff like Bal/Mapei/Ditra/Hardiebacker etc so can I expect anything like that? Good quality tiles or bargain basement stuff or a bit of everything?

Do they have a policy for giving out work too? Wouldn't mind buying stuff from them on the first few days in the hope of getting in with them if they're trade friendly.

They don't do Ditra but they do Durabase, it's expensive though. I haven't used them for months, the last time I needed a couple of sheets of hardie, it was a lot more than CTD but they price matched it for me

I buy my Hardie from them and the odd sponge to up with my super discount from them :lol:

 

[Peter]

Waste of time then?

No CTD here but it sounds like a place that would be good.

For bits and bobs but their Toppfix white is about £17.50 with a discount, I get Tilemaster white for £15 kg bag...

They'll be selling the most expensive adhesive in the area then. :lol: Says they'll be open on bank holidays so that'll be handy as my usual supplier tends to take every bank holiday going and I'm usually running about like a mad man trying to get one length of 9mm cream trim. :lol:
