Hello & and thanks for visiting my page.
My name is Walter Croft, and I’m the proud owner of Victorian Tile Services — a family-run business rooted in craftsmanship, tradition, and a deep appreciation for the timeless beauty of period tiling. I’m a third-generation tiler and began my journey in the trade back in 1995, working alongside my father and learning the skills that had been passed down through our family.
With nearly 30 years of hands-on experience, I’ve developed a passion and expertise for restoring and installing original Victorian tiles, as well as working with high-quality reproduction tiles that remain faithful to the styles of the past. Whether you’re looking to bring new life to a hallway in need of restoration or want to recreate the charm of a traditional tiled entrance, I offer a comprehensive and highly skilled tiling service tailored to each project.
If you value craftsmanship, attention to detail, and authentic period finishes, I’d be delighted to help bring your vision to life. I specialise in the restoration of Victorian tiles and can provide a full tiling service to my customers for both original and reproduction Victorian tiles.
