If something goes wrong Hughes & Son will
Immediately come to your property to sort the problem out. Very knowledgeable and efficient.
From the first enquiry I felt I was being listened to and that I was dealing with a very proffessional company. I was given a date and time for a fitter (Dylan) to attend who subsequently did a first class job. He was neat and tidy and put the old cooker outside for me ready for collection.
I cannot recomend this company enough. From start to finish I was kept informed along the way which is so important. Well done guys, your number is in my contact list as ill definitly call on you, if needed in the future. 🙂

The Tiling Process
When you choose us for your tiling project in Braintree, you can expect a smooth, hassle-free experience from start to finish. Here’s a look at how we approach each step of the tiling process.
Free Survey & No-Obligation Quote
The first step in any tiling project is understanding your wants and needs. We’ll start with a free survey to discuss your vision for your spaces. We’ll listen carefully to your ideas, discuss the best materials, styles, and budgets, and offer professional advice on what will work best for your space.
During this phase, we assess the room, ensuring we understand potential challenges or specific requirements. This ensures that our recommendations are tailored to your home or business so everything goes smoothly.
After the survey, we’ll send you a quote with no obligation. If you’re happy to go ahead, we’ll book a date for the work to start.
Tile Selection & Design
A huge range of tiles is available, and with so many different styles, textures, and colours to choose from, it can feel overwhelming. But don’t worry – we’ll help you select the best tiles for your space. We’ll also provide design options that complement your space, suggesting layouts that work well with the size and shape of the room.
Below, we’ve outlined some of the most popular types of tiles we use and their benefits.
Ceramic Tiles
Ceramic tiles are ideal for walls and floors in kitchens, bathrooms, and living areas. Ceramics are durable, easy to clean, and relatively affordable, making them an excellent choice for most home tiling projects.
Ceramic tiles withstand moisture, which makes them particularly well-suited for use in bathrooms and kitchens. Ceramic tiles are available in various shapes, colours, textures and patterns and will work with any space and design.
Porcelain Tiles
Porcelain tiles are more durable and have better resistance to water and wear. Porcelain tiles are perfect for high-traffic areas such as hallways or living rooms and wet spaces like bathrooms and kitchens.
With a wide selection of finishes, from glossy to matte, porcelain tiles can mimic the look of natural stone, wood, or even fabric. Porcelain tile’s strength and water resistance make them suitable for outdoor spaces.
Marble Tiles
Marble tiles are known for their elegant appearance and unique veining, adding a timeless and sophisticated feel to any room. However, marble tiles require more maintenance than ceramic or porcelain.
Marble tiles are often used in high-end bathrooms, kitchens, and feature walls. While more porous than ceramic and porcelain, marble tiles can be sealed for protection, ensuring they stay in top condition for many years.
Granite Tiles
Granite tiles are another great option for those who want both style and durability. Granite is a natural stone known for its strength and resistance to scratches, stains, and high temperatures. Granite tiles are perfect for high-traffic areas, such as hallways, kitchens, and commercial spaces, as they will withstand heavy use. Granite tiles come in various colours, from deep blacks and greys to earthy tones.
Slate Tiles
Slate tiles bring a natural, earthy element to any space. They’re often used for their rich texture and unique colour variations, which range from deep greys to greens and purples, perfect for creating rustic or contemporary interior designs.
Whether used for floors or walls, slate tiles provide a slip-resistant surface, making them ideal for bathrooms, kitchens, and outdoor areas. Slates’s is perfect for creating warm and inviting spaces, while their durability ensures they meet the demands of busy households and commercial settings.
Glass Tiles
Glass tiles reflect light beautifully, making them perfect for smaller spaces or areas that need a bit of brightness. Glass tiles are often used in feature walls and backsplashes or as accents in bathrooms and kitchens.
One of the key benefits of glass tiles is their ability to make a space feel more open and airy, thanks to their reflective surface. They’re easy to clean and maintain, making them a practical choice for areas with a lot of moisture, like shower walls or kitchen splashbacks.
Mosaic Tiles
Mosaic tiles are arranged in intricate patterns or designs to create stunning feature walls, backsplashes, and even floors. Mosaic tiles are available in ceramic, glass and stone, giving you endless options for creating unique designs.
Mosaic tiles are perfect for adding a personal touch to your space, whether you want to make a bold statement or add flair to an otherwise simple area. Mosaic tiles can be used sparingly or as a focal point, allowing endless design possibilities. Mosaics are often used in bathrooms, kitchens, or living rooms and can be used for outdoor spaces when selected carefully.
Surface Preparation
The first step is to prepare the surfaces for Tiling. We take the time to ensure that the surfaces are clean, dry, and level before any tiles go down. We’ll make necessary repairs or adjustments to ensure the surface is structurally sound. Proper preparation prevents any issues with the tiles, like cracking or lifting.
Tile Installation
With everything in place, it’s time for the real work to begin. Our Tilers are highly experienced in installing tiles with precision and care, ensuring that every tile is laid perfectly. We take the time to get the grout lines right, maintain consistent spacing, and ensure the tiles are aligned properly, ensuring the installation looks seamless and professional.
Grouting & Finishing Touches
Once the tiles are in place, we move on to the grouting process. Grouting improves the look of your tiles and helps secure them in place. We’ll ensure the grout is applied evenly, filling every gap, and then wipe away any excess to leave a clean, polished finish. After grouting, we thoroughly clean everything and seal the tiles where necessary to protect them from wear and tear.
Post-Installation Care
After we’ve completed the Tiling, we’ll advise you on how to care for your new tiles. Proper maintenance is key to keeping your Tiling looking its best, and we’ll offer tips on cleaning and general upkeep.
