Installation of new Victorian style tile floors

Victorian Tile Restoration & Repair specialises in new Victorian style tile floor installation throughout Scotland and the North of England, creating handcrafted geometric floors for period homes, listed buildings, churches, commercial properties and public buildings. Whether you are restoring a traditional entrance hall or designing a new floor for a character property, we can create a floor that looks as though it has always belonged there.

Unlike modern tiling, Victorian style tile floor installation requires careful planning, accurate setting out and traditional craftsmanship. Most floors are laid by hand using individual geometric clay tiles to form decorative borders, panels and intricate patterns. We also install encaustic tiles, brass threshold strips and bespoke decorative features to suit the style and age of each building.

Every project begins with a thorough assessment of the existing floor. We examine the substrate, levels, moisture and structural condition before recommending the most appropriate method of installation. Where necessary, we repair or rebuild defective bases to provide a stable foundation. We can also accommodate modern underfloor heating systems using compatible materials and installation methods that provide a durable, long-lasting finish.

Over many years we have established strong relationships with some of the UK’s most skilled craftspeople, specialist manufacturers and suppliers. This enables us to source high-quality geometric tiles, encaustic tiles and bespoke decorative components that are often unavailable through standard tile merchants.

Much of our work is carried out within listed buildings and conservation projects, where we regularly work to detailed architectural specifications and planning requirements. We are accustomed to working alongside architects, conservation officers, surveyors, principal contractors and heritage organisations, ensuring every Victorian style tile floor installation meets the exact requirements of the project whilst respecting the historic character of the building.

We work for homeowners, architects, churches, conservation trusts, local authorities, estate managers and commercial clients throughout Edinburgh, Glasgow, Aberdeen, Dundee, Perth, Stirling, Inverness, Newcastle, Carlisle, Durham, York and the surrounding areas.

We provide specialist Victorian tile cleaning, Victorian tile restoration, Victorian tile sealing and protective treatments throughout Edinburgh, Glasgow, Aberdeen, Dundee, Perth, Stirling, Inverness and across Scotland. Our objective is simple: to protect historic Victorian tile floors using appropriate materials and proven conservation methods that respect the character of the original floor. If your floor has suffered damage, we also offer replacement of missing and damaged Victorian floor tiles, with carefully matched repairs carried out using traditional conservation techniques.
