What You’ll Learn

Our tiling centre is not just for those new to the industry, it also has facilities and courses available to existing tillers who need to gain extra skills or who may come across a job that they have previously not encountered.

One of the specialist areas becoming increasingly popular is Victorian tiling and/or restoration and the course that we have devised will enable you to undertake this area of tiling work. Additionally, the use of mosaics is and always has been very popular
