Tilers and Worktop Professionals

Worktop installers and tilers can advise on the best tiles and materials to use based on your tastes and requirements and then will be able to install them to a high finish in your home. Kitchen worktops are a major part of your kitchen – you need surfaces that will be scratch and heat resistant, but at the same time still look attractive and work in harmony with your kitchen units, splashback and other kitchen elements. A worktop manufacturer and installer will be able to fit new kitchen worktops or replace old ones with ease, helping you to pick out the best kitchen worktops for your home first. Tiles are so versatile that they can be used in kitchen splashbacks, floors, bathroom walls and as decorative designs elsewhere in the house. Tile manufacturers and tilers will have a great range of tile designs, sizes and materials to choose from and will help you to pick the best tile for the job. Laying tiles may look easy sometimes, but one badly laid tile can ruin a whole floor or wall, so it’s really best to leave it to a skilled tiler.

With Houzz you can find tilers, tile manufacturers and worktop installers near you and check their previous projects, reviews and ratings to decide if they’re a good fit for your home design project.
