Quarry tiles, step tiles, mosaics and natural stone products including limestone, travertine, slate and quartzite, marble and sandstone are available.

Owner Richard Barclay has more than 25 years industry experience and is a director of Cygnus Trading Ltd and Tile Factor Ltd which import tiles directly from factories in Italy, Spain and France.

He said: “Having visited many tile showrooms over the past 25 years I have to come to the conclusion that offering a concise and select range of products is preferable to bamboozling customers by offering them 50 shades of beige or grey and 100 different grout colours.

“All the products I offer are sourced from quality suppliers and factories and are competitively priced.

“Not everyone finds it easy to choose their tiles and I hope that I will be able to advise and help.”
