Our Experience

I am a sole trader based in Hove. I have been in business providing people with painting, decorating and tiling services for a couple of years. Having spent some time in the trade a few years ago, returning to this area was a natural progression. 
 
Now back in business for myself I currently work on domestic properties providing tiling services ranging from tiling a fire surround to whole bathrooms and kitchens; painting and decorating where just one room or a whole house needs attention; and the repair of any damage caused by general wear and tear, tenants who have moved out or simply the need to freshen up a home

We do the following types of jobs:

  • External Painting - Walls
  • External Painting - Windows & Doors
  • External Tiling
  • Floor Tiling
  • Internal Painting & Decorating

A small bathroom with large white tiles and small black mosaics around the bath panel
Failed tiling led to water ingress to flat below
All tiles were removed and wall cleaned and new sealant applied to waterproof the joint between bath and wall
Since this was an emergency job customer was happy for plain white tiles to replace the existing old pink tiles only where necessary to improve the bathroom waterproofing
New tiles go higher than existing (see line of pink tiles to right) as the shower had caused the original problem. Now all refixed and ready to be used.
