Victorian tiles
Hi,
we live on the ladder and have just lifted the floor up and found some lovely victorian tiles. Some of these are in a really poor state and some parts are completely missing but we'd love to try and restore them. Does anyone have/know anyone who does have any spare from a floor they have lifted or want to get rid of? has anyone restored their tiles and have any advice on going about it?? I've attached a pic of the pattern if this looks familiar, any help would be greatly appreciated 
Thanks,
leanne

If you have DIY in mind, we had a few missing tiles and got them made by Original Features in Crouch End. They also stock restoration products.

I haven't used them, got their card from somewhere when we were thinking about getting our hallway cleaned up properly, but our tiles not too bad and we have never got round to doing anything about them....!

I have tried Original Features but they said they only do big jobs ( had been working in V and A! ). They gave me name of a guy- Brian- who was great. He is busy so we had to wait but he is reliable and very competent. Tel 07956147983

To buy modern copies of the tiles, including the decorated acrostic ones, there's a place just off the Tottenham one-way that will order them in for you. www.carvallgroup.com They do just about all of the usual colours.
If you havent yet found a builder, I know one who can do this, PM me as he's hard to contact direct.

I've just added the "encaustic tiles" tag under your post, Click on it for a couple of similar threads.

You can even try eBay, you can find some at good price from time to time.
