Victorian hallway tiling installation job - York - Tile Advice

[Patrick Gibbs]

Hello!

I'm looking to have a new tiled hallway floor installed in a Victorian property I'm renovating in York and was wondering whether anyone might be able to undertake this job?

It's a typical terraced-house entrance hallway and is roughly 5 metres square. I've been looking at patterns similar these:

Would very much appreciate it if anyone in the area was available to come by the property, provide some advice on what tiles to look at, give me a quote/timescale, etc.

Many thanks!

Hi and welcome to the forum Patrick!

Hi! This certainly looks like the place to come to find a quality tradesperson - forum is pretty lively! On my 1st renovation and still finding my way - had some not-so-great experiences with tilers so far. Turns out a good website doesn't equal a good tiler :/

Yes I'm afraid it can be a bit of a minefield out there, but u've come to the right place for sure.
We have a few talented Geo tile fixers here.
Here is a link to our search media page.

There are two gents in particular in the north that are both masters in Geo work, and one is actually officially a Master Tyler!

If they have it set it says their location in their member cards and profile pages. Click on a username and it should say.

Dave's County Durham
John's just generalises a bit and says Borth East
Phil's Oldham but he's up Johns way I think next week or so, so contact John anyway.

This is great, many thanks guys! I'll drop John a message.

I'm only 10 minutes away, but way out of my league.
But there are few on here that have been mentioned that will do your job very well
