Simon the Tiler

About Simon the Tiler

I undertook my ceramic tiling apprenticeship in 1984 at the age of 16 in Sussex, and have been tiling ever since.

I was taught by 2 'old-school' tilers, who taught me to cut tiles by hand, before all the new cutting equipment came to the market.  This is important for those awkward tiles, for instance, tiles around pipes.  I won't cut a tile into two unless it is absolutely necessary, I prefer to see a hole cut into the tile than a split in it.

I ran my own ceramic tiling business in Sussex for 27 years, working in literally thousands of household properties, tiling bathrooms, kitchens and conservatories.

I expanded my business to employ other tilers and we undertook large commercial projects all over the UK, including Sainsbury's superstores, Health & Fitness clubs, shop fronts, and Golf and Country clubs.

My wife and I moved to France early 2012 and spent the first year getting our fishing gîtes and lakes up and running.

I'm a true craftsman at my trade.

It's all I've done since leaving school, so I should be good at it!

I'm a professional.

I leave your property clean and tidy, with ceramic tiling you can be proud of.

Don't take my word for it, take a look at my portfolio and see what my customers say.

I look forward to hearing from you and to discussing your ceramic tiling needs.

I'm fully insured.  As you would expect from a professional, and as is required by law in France.  Ceramic Tilers in France must provide an insurance which guarantees their work for 10 years.
