Hello & and thanks for visiting my page.
My name is Walter Croft owner of Victorian Tile services. I’m a 3rd generation tiler. I started my tiling career with my dad in 1995.
Before the 1990’s generally no care or attention was paid to Victorian and Geometric floor tiles. Sadly, assumed unrepairable, in many cases they were chopped up and replaced or simply covered with carpet, lino or latex etc…..
From the early 2000’s there has been a resurgence in interest with Victorian and Edwardian geometric floor tiles and a new found respect and admiration for the craftmanship involved in either reproducing or restoring these floors. Tragically many of the craftsman from the Victorian era never came back from the Trenches of WW1 so the craft was never passed on.
It’s my now mission to breathe life and restore these timeless floors back to their former glory.
