Hi everybody, I'm not a tiler but want help in locating the companies in the UK tiling industry that do really bespoke floors and walls. I've seen the work of one company at a client's home and their price is not cheap but I cannot find any others to compare quotes.

I've searched all over the internet and whilst I can find people claiming their work is bespoke it is not really. Any help will be most appreciated. Thanks

We have some very good fixers on here.....what exactly is it you require doing.....?

here are some pics of our members work...

Thanks Dave,

I'll register as you say. Ithink I will try and contact Recrafts, Aussie Tiler, Blez and Crash. The company, whose work I saw but it appears their price is steep. Has anyone heard of them? Their work looks good to my untrained eye and the guy who I saw working was an Italian with very little english.

Thanks.

imo just about every job is bespoke!!

what are you expecting to pay for this bespoke work? you say the the company is expensive isnt that an oxymoron ,bespoke costs a lot because it is impossible to price in the conventional way and you will be paying a premium for a top tradesman

what on earth is bespoke????
the term is new to me.

It's simply a posh term for Custom made..for the customer..

Bespocke is something that is individualy built, As in a single kitchen or the tiling. So this means that you are a bespocke installer Alberta

Interesting, something new to me as well.

Thanks guys.
Yes, we have had on our cards "custom tile installations" for years.

in laymans terms,the customer ends up with a 1 off job,as no 2 jobs are the same basically

I'd second that - they are ALL bespoke!
Personally, I enjoy jobs which are "out of the ordinary" and challenging.
Kind of reminds you why you do this in the first place.






(note to self: sort your gallery out!)

with you on that one GD! it is nice to do something completely "off the wall", no pun intended!, now and again

I thought i would add some pictures to this thread to show why sometimes you have to charge extra for out of the ordinary work this customer wanted a border fitted to every room following the shape of the skirting this hallway is approxaimatly 5sqm and only has 1 full tile (feature centre piece) with most being double cut

nice work Gary.

very very nice work Gary

Very good work, must of taken a while with all the cuts
