Ceramic Tiling
We specialise in ceramic tiling for commercial and residential properties, ensuring durable, hygienic, and aesthetically pleasing finishes. Our expert operatives use premium materials from trusted suppliers like Verona and Johnson Tiles. Projects range from small-scale renovations to large facilities such as leisure centres and airports.
Waterproofing
Our waterproofing solutions protect buildings from water damage using advanced membranes and systems from Mapei and Marmox. We ensure compliance with industry standards for areas requiring high moisture resistance, including pools and wetrooms. This critical preparatory work guarantees long-term structural integrity.
Bespoke Tiling
We deliver tailored tiling designs for unique spaces, combining creativity with technical precision. From intricate patterns to large-format tiles, our team works closely with architects and clients to achieve distinctive finishes. Recent projects include the Culture House Sunderland and HMRC Newcastle developments.
Wetrooms
Our wetroom installations combine functionality with modern design, featuring seamless waterproofing and slip-resistant surfaces. We use industry-leading products to create accessible, low-maintenance bathrooms. Expertise includes commercial wetrooms for facilities like the Pilgrim Quarter HMRC building.
Tile Backer Board
We install tile backer boards to create stable, moisture-resistant substrates for tiling. This essential groundwork ensures optimal adhesion and longevity, particularly in high-traffic or wet areas. Projects include 400m installations at the HMRC Newcastle site using Marmox products.
