A family firm of tilers from Newark. Porcelain, ceramic, natural stone and large-format — from a free survey to a finished room swept and cleared. We cover the whole of Nottinghamshire.
We don't go over the quote. Extra work only if you've agreed it — never as a surprise on the invoice.
Our own tilers
No subcontractors. The people in your house are people we know and stand behind.
Cleared up afterwards
Old tiles and offcuts taken away, the room vacuumed at the end. You get a room back, not a building site.
Five-year guarantee
Five years in writing on the tiling itself, not just on the materials.
What we tile
Four kinds of tile, one trade
Not sure what suits your house? On the Tiles and prices page there's an honest comparison — including what we'd talk you out of.
Porcelain floor tiles
Hard-wearing and easy to live with, in kitchens, hallways and utility rooms. Works over underfloor heating.
from £58/m²tiles and fitting, VAT included
Natural stone
Limestone, slate and travertine. Heavier, slower to lay and worth it — it looks better at twenty years than at two.
from £95/m²tiles and fitting, VAT included
Ceramic wall tiles
Bathrooms, splashbacks and utility walls. The quickest and cheapest way to a room that looks finished.
from £48/m²tiles and fitting, VAT included
Large-format porcelain
Slabs up to 1200 mm with barely a joint to see. Needs a dead flat substrate, which is most of the work.
from £78/m²tiles, adhesive and fitting, VAT included
Tiling calculator
Work out the price yourself
No “price on application”. Put the area in, pick a tile, and you'll see the cost broken down line by line — with a rough idea of how long we'd be there.

The calculator uses ordinary mid-range tile prices. The real quote comes after the free survey — and it's usually lower, because we measure the area honestly rather than rounding the room up. (This is an example page; the prices are illustrative.)
Tile finishes
Eight finishes we lay most often
Filter by kind of tile and by shade. We bring real samples to every survey — colours never look the same on a screen as they do held against your own units and daylight.

How it works
From asking to a finished room, in five steps
You ring or write
A few lines is enough: what, where and roughly how many metres. We come back within two working days, by phone or email, whichever suits you.
We survey it — free
We measure the area and check how flat the floor is, and bring real samples. It costs you nothing, even if you end up using somebody else.
You get a fixed price
An itemised quote like the calculator above, only exact: tiles, labour, levelling, trims. It holds unless you change what you want.
We prepare the floor
Primed, levelled where it needs it, and left to go off properly. We don't tile onto a damp screed — which is why we test it first.
We tile, clear up and hand over
The finished floor is vacuumed, offcuts and old tiles taken away, and we go through the guarantee together — five years on the work.
Levelling: the floor comes in within 2 mm over a 2 m straight edgeSetting out: joints line up, and the cuts land where you don't look
20+years at it
About us
Two generations and two more pairs of hands
Marston Tiling started in 2004, after ten years of tiling for a big contractor and getting tired of the corners nobody checked. The second generation came in from 2015, and the two lads who work with us have both been here long enough to be on the guarantee as well.
We keep to one rule: never more than two jobs at once. That way nobody is rushing off your floor to get to someone else's, and the room gets finished when it's actually finished.
Approved fitters for three UK tile suppliers
We test the screed for moisture with a meter, not a guess
Never more than two jobs at once — which is why the dates hold
What you can expect
Three things we always do
We set the room out before we stick anything down. Where the cuts
land is the whole difference between a tidy job and an awkward one, and it's decided
in the first hour. You see the layout before the adhesive comes out.
We won't tile onto a floor that isn't ready. If the screed is damp
or more than a couple of millimetres out, we'll say so and price the levelling —
even though it makes our quote look dearer than the one that ignores it.
The quote separates tiles from labour. So if the total is more than
you wanted, you can change the tile rather than the tiler. Nothing gets added later
that you didn't agree to first.
