Great staff who were very helpful and patient. Let us take tiles home to try when we couldn't decide. They found us some amazing floor and wall tiles for our bathroom and some great floor tiles for our kitchen. Thanks everyone but especially Debbie.

Excellent place for tiles, tools, adhesive and most importantly, ADVICE! The shop staff are experienced tilers and take time to give the best information. I've been a builder for 20 years and still ask for their help and opinion. Reasonable but only top quality products. Family business, been around over 100 years and is always my first choice. Can't praise enough.
