    Default 100 / 150 years old tiles.

    If anyone has stock or can suggest where we might source some dark chocolate and buff Victorian floor tiles, for a restoration job. Ideal size 109mmx109mm but 151mmx151mm could be cut down to suit. Thanks in advance, Phil.

    Have you tried this company?
    Victorian Mosaic Floor Tiles Restoration | Minton Tile Restoration and Repairs - Home

    They may only supply for jobs theyre doing, but they may point you in the right direction, no harm in asking.

    iused to restore the edwardian geometric floors about 20 years ago and used to get replacement tiles from lassco reclamation yard.
    they have a couple of yards in london.
    drummonds in hindhead also used to do them.

    the problem i used to have was that apparently alot of these tiles were cut on site and they can vary in size from one house to another in the same street.
    there are estates like lion estate in fulham and barnes where every house had entry hall and steps/path done.
    if you havenet got much work at any time .
    put a flyer through every door on those roads in lion estates advertisnig you restore these floors .
    it used to keep me vey busy .

    You could give this company a call. http://www.cawardenreclaim.co.uk/quarry-tiles.html

    i had some old quarries off them last month and I am sure I saw loads of Minton/ victorian tiles there .

    Have you tried here?

    Craven Dunnill Jackfield Ltd: Encaustic and Geometric floor tiles.

    Not cheap but they supply almost any kind of victorian tiles i believe.

    Try Patrick's of Murrow in cams. They are a reclaims yard. Bit
    like a jumble sale of reclaims and almost like a day out for me visitting their yard......they have loads of tiles, quarries, ceramics, marble etc etc etc. worth a call I'd say
    you must all buy this song from any good download site for just 79p. Proceeds to Blesma, RAFA and RAFBF charities

    alright Phil, i have some Cambell & Co brown/choc in colour left over from a floor I reclaimed. How many are you looking for? I am in china for the next three weeks, as soon as I get back I will take some photos to see if they are what you are looking for.
