Victorian path tiles wanted - TilersForums.com

[Sk tiles]

Hi, could any of my fellow tilers suggest the best place and preferably the cheapest place to buy Victorian path tiles around the london area. Thanks for any replies lads

Do you have a picture of some in mind?

Do you mean the red quarry tiles?

 

[Sk tiles]

Hi yes the red quarry tiles are the octagon ones 10.5x10.5 with small 053x053 buff on black squares set on corners if that makes sense have a couple of places just wondered if any tilers on here knew a good place to get them from the places I've looked are shops in central London so rather steep if u ask me.
I have a kind of drawing which I'll try to upload later so u have a better idea. Thanks for the reply by the way.

Try Original style. Or you could purchase 6 x 6 tiles and bespoke your own octagon tiles and taco's.

Ahhh I see.

I'm not sure the tiles would be any more expensive in central London. They're just not cheap tiles those.

Had a look online to see what those tile shops can do for you?

What sort of quantity are you looking for?

 

[Sk tiles]

Hi Total quantity is around 13m2 plus borders ill take a look at original style

 

[Dan]

Ahh borders too!

So it's a full on Victorian floor then. Not just red quarries.

No wonder the price isn't cheap. It's one of the more expensive types of flooring that is when you're having borders and all sorts.

Setting out is key. And ensuring the floor is well prepared before setting out.

Do you have a tiler?

Yes mate having a bash myself can't be that hard ha. Just kidding I am a tiler but tbh never done one before so thought I'd ask fellow tilers on here for advice on the best place to buy

 

[Dan]

Oh sorry! Thought you were DIY.

You want to get yourself in the tilersforums arms and ask for a trade price check on the specific tiles you want. A few of the lads will ask their shop then.
