Hi Alan here,

My lovely wife has decided that I need to up my game on advertising, it seems in 2026 I need to be seen and also have something she called brand awareness. (Did you notice the new AI generated cover page... aparently AI is not an abbreviation of Alan).

Myself, I understand clients' expectations are extremely high when it comes to the appearance of their home whether it is a new build or existing home renovation. It is the place you come home to relax in and also the place you spend the most of your hard earned dollars so it's crucial that clients have 100% confidence and trust in their tradies.

I have been a tiler for just over 35 years, 25 of those working for myself, putting my own name to my business making my reputation my most valuable & hard earned asset. I am both old school & new school and have experience working with all tiling design genre's which I enjoy.

Marketing in 2026 is something I am going to leave to my wife.

But in the meantime if you need a Tiler give me a call for a chat, a free no obligation quotation on 0274382500 or send me a message.

More time on your hands to plan or get stuck into a bit of home DIY at the moment? 🛠 We thought we'd give you a bit of inspo by introducing you to a tile that'll make your heart skip a beat. Say hello to our tile in the spotlight: Fanal Cerámica Pearl Blue Star. 🔹⭐️🔹

Thanks to its pearl finish, the light reflects off the textured tile surface creating movement around the room. 🪞🪞🪞

A creative solution for your practical needs. 👍

Kitchen Splashback before and after photos. The white gloss 300 x 75 tiles supplied by the client looked great in the herringbone pattern with misty grey grout.

ARE YOU LOOKING FOR A TILER?

Hi Alan here,

I like to think that I understand clients' expectations are extremely high when it comes to the appearance of their home whether it is a new build or existing home renovation. It is the place you come home to relax in and also the place you spend the most of your hard earned dollars so it's crucial that clients have 100% confidence and trust in their tradies.

I have been a tiler for over 30 years, nearly 20 of those working for myself, putting my own name to my business making my reputation my most valuable & hard earned asset. I am both old school & new school and have experience working with all tiling design genre's which I enjoy.

I am a proud family man and enjoy a game of cricket in the weekend, my values of being honest, reliable, hardworking are those I am passing on to my sons, as well the value of a good hard days work and a nice firm handshake. In fact my eldest is working along side me doing his tiling apprenticeship.

Give me a call for a chat, a no obligation quotation on 0274382500 or send us a message.

More often than not, as the tiler I do not get to see the finished bathroom as bathrooms fittings go in after I have finished. So realistically as you see my photos are not picture perfect with exposed wires. But I do get to work with some very nice tiles though, these are called Brick Satin White 300 x 600 and Earthstone Brick 300 x 600 and our client purchased these from Reptiles. These are modern, affordable tiles that I thought you might like to see, the bathrooms were stunning.
