tile giant mk

[mikethetile]

found the new tile giant in mk today and popped in

its not finished yet, loads of tilers fixing the displays but they are trading if you need something

its looking good, spoke to the area manager, nice bloke used to be topps mk manager

has promised loads of coffee and chat

the basic range of mapei , everything else on order

the priced displayed on the tile boards is already about £10 m2 cheaper than topps

as they are located 5mins from topps this should be interesting

no silly games to get your trade card

having problem with sourcing drills as plasplugs no longer available so pointed him towards 365 drills , so hopefully a deal can be struck there

told him everyone in the know buys 365 drills

they will be up and running next week so i shall drop in and get my trade card

not easy to find as they are set back from the road, they are next to screwfix under the turbines

a nice bunch of lads, right attitude , im looking forward to dealing with them

I use the one near me...its across the road from Topps! They are really good with prices in there and also seem a good bunch of lads.

I've been in to a few tile stores near me and find tile giant to be by far the best. Topps in Christchurch were really helpful but tile Giant were great. they set up my trade account from the word go and I got wicked discount. The chap I speak to when I go in there knows I'm new to tiling so gives me pointers which I'm very glad off. He even takes the goods I buy to the van!!

I've not got any recommendation from them yet but I think thats because they know I'm new and there for dont want to pass my number on in risk of back lash if I were to bodge anything. which I totally understand and think is a credit to them. I've just got to do more jobs and show them proof of how great I am!!

My local Tile Giant is all ex-topps staff. They are a really good bunch and very helpful, not like the in-breds across the road from them! :smilewinkgrin:

My local is Tooting, not bad as I was housed there as a young Police Officer in the 1980's, BUT the next nearest is Brixton........yeah ok.........

Get in!

Loving reading this thread.

I hear Tile Giant are expanding quicker than any other, and they'll be opening a Tile Giant near all the profitable Topps stores.

Think this thread would be okay in the main tiling forum? Perhaps we can get a thread about their trade prices in here for you in return?

 

[doug boardley]

would prefer it if you got a Tile Giant in Kendal Dan lol
