I've done a couple stevey, one for a famous author and couple houses in Pollocksheils, really good to do but doesn't seem much of a market for it up here.

It's a very skilled type of tiling, not easy for most.
There is a few on here who can do it very well and even restorers too.

trevotine - I really would love to learn all there is to it, I bet there would be a market for it if people would lift carpets & bin them. I bet there are loads of victorian floors going by all the old buildings around.

hillhead - I bet it is a skilled type of tiling, thats the reason I want to learn all I can. I recon if any one has a personal interest in something they will learn.

Yeah, prob loads out there, looked into it few years back, there's only a few suppliers of it in our area and they weren't getting much call for it. It's defo a challenge, I really enjoy doing them though!
