Tile, stone & countertops
Porcelain and ceramic tile, natural stone and cut-to-size countertops for kitchens, bathrooms and shared areas.
What it does for the project
Hard surfaces carry the design: they frame the room, set the palette, and take the abuse in the wet and high-traffic zones.
What it looks like
Surfaces & finishes
Illustrative — every item is sourced and inspected to your specification.
What buyers usually decide
- Format, size and thickness
- Surface finish: polished, honed, matt or textured
- Edge profile, and how the joints are set out
- Shade and batch consistency across the order
- What each area has to stand up to
- How it meets the flooring and the joinery
How we work on it
- One specification sent to each candidate, with the quotes put side by side so the differences are visible
- Samples or a reference piece sealed before the order, where the category allows it
- Pre-shipment inspection against the locked specification, with a written report and the original photographs
- Consolidated with your windows and doors wherever the schedule and the container allow
We do not issue technical backing for this category — we report what we see and what we would check, and the technical decision stays yours. We do not recommend factories, and we do not represent any of them.
Frequently asked
Can this be sourced on the same trip as my windows and doors?
Yes. It is looked at on the same trips, and where the schedule allows it ships in the same consolidation — with the load planned around weight and volume rather than assuming everything fits one container.
Do you sign off on the engineering of these categories?
No. For windows and doors we back the engineering. For the categories beyond them we report what we see and what we would check — the technical decision stays with you and your own adviser.
Can I use my own supplier for this?
Yes. We work inside the supplier you already use, and verify and inspect those the same way.
