Tile restoration

Posted by Richard Bartholomey on January 9, 2023 at 12:48pm in Tradespeople recommendations

Ive just moved from Alexandra Park Road up the hill to Queens Ave, so hope I'm still welcome on the forum albeit 10mins up the road!

Does anyone have suggestions on where I can get reclaimed tiles and/or companies that can do the work? Conservation area aside, I'm keen to try and keep the history and aesthetic alive, but have quite a few gaps and breaks on my wall that need attending to, and everything also needs a good clean.

We have a pile of 1930s tiles, roughly 270mm x 170mm, slightly concave, with 2 lugs and 2 nail/screw holes at one end. Fairly seriously dirty. Let me know if you're interested - we'd be pleased to get rid of at least some.

Hi Richard, yes, you're very welcome to the forum! No problem living in Queens Avenue.

Some tilers are mentioned in the recommended tradesmen section. You could ask for advice from

Original Features in Crouch End as they have a list of good tile repairers and people who can lay new tiles if necessary.
