Heritage Tiling & Restoration Co
We undertake the restoration of historic tiled floors - the biggest percentage being Victorian encaustic and geometric tiled floors and occasionally wall tile schemes. These are usually Victorian, however as floors are under constant wear and tear it is geometric and encaustic tiled floors that comprise our bread and butter work.
Originally, company owner Steve Sinnott started out as a stone carver but a contract that had a badly damaged marble mosaic changed his life. It took nearly three years to restore the marble mosaic floor and meant that he had cut almost a million cubes - his job changed and he became a Tyler-mason, a term that had gone out of use but was suited to his new line of work.
The company was established in 1982 and Steve has been restoring Victorian encaustic and geometric tiled floors longer than most. He has now worked in many different countries and has helped train tilers, or at least encouraged them to try this very difficult but satisfying branch of tiling.
Steve gets great satisfaction from laying a new complicated floor or restoring a floor that most would consign to a skip. He is dedicated to his work and has lots of references from clients to back that statement up.
