“When it comes to tiling, I am a perfectionist. I can’t bear even being a millimetre off in my work. Accuracy is so important and doing the right preparation so that the job is set up correctly. I love talking to my clients and really understanding the look that want to achieve.”
My work as a tiler began nearly 20 years ago when I was started working with my brother, as a labourer initially. I really loved tiling straight away. In the first few years the tiling I was doing was mainly volume work rather than quality designs. I then worked with another company for around 10 years as their site manager in the tiling area.
Around five years ago I decided to go out on my own and start up my own tiling company so I could concentrate on design and quality. Working with boutique builders who are focused on more intricate work has given me the opportunity to tile projects that require a real attention to detail.

One of the major trends I have seen lately is in swimming pools – clients are using large format tiles in their pools. And the subway tile trend which has been so popular looks like it’s here to stay.
Being a part of the Tiler of the Year Awards has been a great way for myself and for all tilers to showcase quality work. There are a lot of tilers who do volume work but there’s only a handful who take pride in their work and provide an end result that makes their client happy. I’m so grateful to have made it to the Top 10 Finalists, it’s an achievement in itself.
