<p>Steve and his brother Gary of Tiled Perfection replaced our front Victorian path this week. They fitted a front Yorkshire stone step - gorgeous! (I didn't think I'd ever wax lyrical over one of those!) and tiled the front door instep after repairing rotten wood supports, laying and cementing a metal support grid and creating a gentle downward instep of tiles that directs any rain by the front door away to the path.</p>
<p>They laid a new foundation with a metal support grid for the main path and after all that settled and hardened came back to lay a beautiful front path.I wanted to keep the Yorkshire stone around the coal hole and front gate step and Steve worked around all of this fitting ribbon edging that is as hard as stone - those damn Haringey dustbin trolleys! They are as hard as the cement at the Pantheon in Rome and we know how long THAT's been around! The tiles are French and are going to last as long as the previous ones laid in 1895! The finish is truly excellent! </p>

<p>So nice to have people that don't take short cuts and who have proper standards. He obviously takes great delight in restoring the original look of these houses on the Ladder. They just got on with it and finished in record time. If you do use them... please arrange car parking for their van (some people don't!!!) and I found they appreciated regular cups of tea as per usual hosting.</p>
<p>Such a relief! Recommended unreservedly.</p>

<p>Hi there</p>
<p>We’re looking into potentially getting the front pathway of the house re-tiled. Can anyone recommend someone at all? </p>

<p></p> Tiled hallway floor collapsing- HELP!tag:harringayonline.com,2023-04-07:844301:Topic:15349512023-04-07T06:40:26.834ZCathttps://harringayonline.com/profile/catrionawalker
<p>My Edwardian tiled hallway has collapsed in the middle through heavy use. The tiles seem to be laid on a layer of lime/concrete without any other support. I’ve trawled the internet for info but found little. Tile restorers just replace and clean- I obviously need something more structural done. Does anyone have any experience of this happening? Have you found a builder/tradesperson to fix the problem? Any help with this would be appreciated. </p>

<p></p> Repairing original front door tiles - what colour grout?tag:harringayonline.com,2022-05-07:844301:Topic:14900202022-05-07T15:37:54.215Zadamvietnamhttps://harringayonline.com/profile/adamvietnam
<p>I've cleaned up my front door tiles but the unfortunately they're pretty badly cracked.</p>
<p>I appreciate I can get them repaired / re-laid but it's not in the budget at the moment.</p>
<p>What I'd like to do is fix the grouting but I was wondering what is the correct colour to use?</p>
<p>Alternatively if anyone knows a better way to DIY repair without going as far as digging the old ones out I'd be interested to hear.</p>
<p>Thanks in advance, Adam…</p>

<p></p> Victorian tiles and glassworktag:harringayonline.com,2020-06-16:844301:Topic:12528862020-06-16T09:21:12.215ZYousef Hatemhttps://harringayonline.com/profile/YousefHatem
<p>Hi everyone</p>
<p>I hope that someone will be able to assist. We live on the Ladder and have an entrance hall with the Victorian mosaic tiles and glasswork. Some of the tiles are in bad condition / have fallen out of position, and some of the glass is smashed.</p>
<p>As a lot of the houses in Harringay have the beautiful old tiling, we wondered whether anyone has any spare mosaic tiles - and/or whether you would recommend anyone local for this work?</p>
<p>Photos are below.</p>

<p>Hi all - we are shortly going to be replacing our front garden path (and garden) and would like to add tiles. Does anyone have any recommendations for a modern design that is still in keeping with the Edwardian nature? Thank you!</p>

<p>Hi Everyone</p>
<p>My husband and I have just moved into a 2 bed flat on the Harringay Ladder. We are looking to redo the living room and bedroom which would include replacing the flooring (potentially restoring the hardwood floors) and also restoring the original fireplace which is currently behind a plasterboard. We would also be keen to restore the original victorian tiling in the entrance way.</p>
