A family move to Dorset and a new business with a greater emphasis on trade. The decline of independent tile businesses and subsequent loss of all the knowledge they held, something not readily available from large tile chains, was my motivation to provide a service for developers, builders and tilers.Importing from Italy, Spain, Turkey, South America and China and establishing good links with factories and agents to bring products in at competitive prices. I have linked up with the best, most reliable suppliers of fixing materials, tools and other accessories. As tiles have increased in size I have also introduced various machinery for tile cutting and fabricating to enable the business to offer a full cutting serviceI am currently in the process of developing an App for our trade customers.

From a very small unit selling basic tiles, in those days still measuring by the square yard, I learnt the trade inside out. As others have come and gone, we have continued to provide a high quality service whilst adapting and growing through the rise of large chain retailers, the decline of the high street and the growth of on-line sales.With over 25 years of experience, a thorough knowledge of the tile industry, a network of contacts and a keen interest in new products and innovations, I constantly strive to make Tim's Tiles & Interiors, now residing in a beautiful old barn, the best tile showroom in the South East.
