Victorian Tiling Specialists (North West London)

Victorian Creations are installers of specialist Victorian tiles (Original Style & Olde English)
We have been in this game for many years and our quality is absolutely top class.

We also restore these Victorian/Minton style tiles. The installation below we installed in Camden/Plendar Street (NW1). As you can see nothing else compares to these tiles installed correctly, and with their durability they will be there for many years. So add something amazing to your house!

How do I install my Victorian tiles

I aim for 100 percent perfection. This is because the better they are installed the longer they last and the better they look..

Badly installed Victorian tiles will trap allot of water between ridges in tiles and dips, thick grout lines etc. This all grows mold and traps dirt , then combined with salts from the screed this all works its way into these porous Victorian tiles and causes irreversible staining.

The idea is to create a perfectly flat screed on the reinforced concrete base, then to lay flawlessly smooth tiles with no ridges at all. Grout lines are to be kept to a minimum and the lines in the design must be perfectly straight. This all with create a tile installation that is truly stunning and the water will run off like it is supposed to.

Victorian tiles layed as good as they can be layed

Standart Border and 5x5 Victorian checkerboard pattern on this pathway

This one (above) we actually installed in Ealing, however it is a pretty timeless design. We always find the original tiling is in the 5 cm tiles as in the pic above. However people do step up the tiles size these days to make things a bit cheaper and also less visually busy. (see pic below)
