We offer a deep restorative cleaning service for historic tile and stone also terracotta and mosaic and modern tile schemes that need to be revitalised. After our deep cleaning we can provide a durable and lasting sealer.
We have over 40 years experience in this specialist field and believe that our Co excels in delivering an outstanding service.

Heritage Tiling and Restoration Co's clients range from large listed building projects e.G. Belfast Harbour House to small terraced house in inner cities all over the UK.

Those products are often used on our many tile restoration contracts.

Heritage Tiling and Restoration Co is run by Steve Sinnott the Co has been established since 1982, Steve can call upon a group that he works closely with and who have been trained by him in the this very specialised field.
Steve has over 40 years of experience and has extensive knowledge of all aspects of encaustic and geometric tiling having worked on projects both nationally and internationally, recently his very specialised skill-set came into play as a consultant on a Victorian tiling project in San Francisco.

Steve Sinnott runs and owns Heritage Tiling and Restoration Co and has done since 1982, Steve started out as a stone carver however a mosaic floor had been damaged and Steve was instructed to restore it, not because he knew how but because no-one else wanted to even try, it took years and more than a million pieces, however that started him off down the road to restoring tiled floors both in the UK and abroad.

Steve has now travelled to more than 20 different countries and more than a 147 different cities restoring historic tiled floors and sometimes walls over the last 40 years, he is still learning new wrinkles and has hopes of laying a floor to equal that of St Georges Hall floor which in his eyes is the best !

Steve Sinnott belongs to the Heritage Skills Hub a group dedicated to keeping alive the traditional skills and crafts that might otherwise disappear.

We love our new cloakroom floor. We had black and white squares with a complicated dog-tooth border. Steve is very professional and did a great job!
Response : Hi Steve, an intricate project -an original black & white Victorian floor had been damaged beyond repair, I re-created the look of the original floor using black & white Victorian reproduction tiles from Olde English. Glad you love the new floor Cheers Steve.

I guess this was a routine job for Steve. Our Minton floor was in need of some TLC. We had the usual gas pipe running through the floor and a few broken/cracked tiles. Ste suggested creating 2 new thresholds to match our existing ones. A good idea well executed. The results have been appreciated by ourselves and people visiting. Friends and family and even delivery men have commented on the floor. That in itself is testament to the results of Steve's work. We can now appreciate our beautiful floor again. I would have no hesitation in recommending that anyone with a victorian/minton floor should get Steve to take a look. You'll be over the moon with the results.Moreexpand_more
Response : Thanks Cy, Sadly it is a common type of damage to this type of floor = cut to sink a pipe, however because you had tiles re-claimed from elsewhere in the house I was able to restore the floor ,glad it turned out so well Cheers Steve.

Steve's a very knowledgeable and skilled craftsman. We're glad we decided to have our Victorian porch tiles expertly restored; they complete the welcoming entrance to our house. Also, Steve kindly treated some modern tiles around our stove.
Response : Hi Brenda, it was a pleasure restoring your porch & restoring the modern tiles for you All the Best Steve.

Steve is without doubt a master craftsman in his field. His depth of knowledge and experience is second to none. Steve is very passionate about his work, no job is too big or to small. He gave me 100% support when I laid my own floor. His advice was invaluable and without it, the tiles would still be in my garage. I cant recommend Steve enough.
Response : Thanks for the comments Simon, one last bit of advice get a machine and clean the floor & seal it then it will be complete :).

Thanks to Steve I am now well on the way to restoring some new tiles which have been put down badly by a blog standard tiler. Steve has taken time out to listen to the problem, ask questions and check information on line re' my tiles. He has got back to me in double quick time via phone and email and even sent me a DIY sheet on how to restore my tiles. This professional enjoys his work and clearly wants tiles to be a thing of beauty. His advice and time were given freely, a rare thing these days. Thanks Steve.
Response : Hi Jan, Glad to help Cheers Steve.

Excellent design and quality of work, materials etc. Our beautiful tile floor has received several compliments already. It fits the style of the house perfectly.
Response : Thanks Chantal & Mike, I enjoyed installing the new green & white geometric floor with additional design features, it was a tricky contract due to the out of square walls. Cheers Steve.
Rebecca Hunt
Stockport
From the outset, Steve was both informative and helpful, providing sound advice and guidance. He was reliable, keeping to agreed timescales and took a clear sense of pride in the finished product. We instructed Steve to effectively restore our kitchen floor, as the existing sealant was defective - we have now been using our 'new' floor for some weeks, and with both dog and baby it has been put to the test! So far, so good! We are delighted as the floor now 'works' - it is easy to clean and is effectively the floor which we had always wanted. I would certainly recommend Steve to others, as he is clearly very skilled in his trade. Many thanks, once again.
Response : Rebecca, Thanks for the comments ref my work i'm glad you are pleased and that your floor is looking the way you wanted ! All the best Steve.
Maria Evans
Parbold
Fabulous service and excellent result. Our original Victorian tiled floor had been hidden under carpet for some 35 years and was looking very sad, neglected and stained when discovered. Thanks to Steve's meticulous, precise and expertise the floor now looks beautiful and restored to its former glory. One extremely happy customer. Thank you. Thank you. Maria Evans.
Response : Thanks Maria, it was a pleasure restoring your floor ! I enjoyed bringing the tiles back to vibrant colours, it was a great floor to work on and you are an excellent client Cheers Steve.

Steve took our battered cracked dirty old floor and restored it to its former glory with the kind of care and attention to detail that only comes with a unique combination of expert craftsmanship and an unbridled passion for the job. Superb work. Joe Ainsworth.
Response : Hi Joe, I really enjoyed restoring your floor and also the " Craic" about work-life in general, All the Best Steve.

Eight years ago I contacted Steve Sinnott to ask for his advice regarding the hall floor in my small Victorian house. The original floor had been completely removed by previous owners, though I did discover some of the tiles in baskets in the cellar. Steve’s kind and informative response together with his clear passion for what he does made me decide there and then that when I was in a position to be able to sort my floor, Steve would be the person I would contact. Finally, eight years later, I was in that position and after much discussion with Steve via e-mails/photos and telephone calls, I made the decision to have a reproduction geometric tiled floor laid. Although a small hall floor, it did provide a number challenges. Undeterred, Steve skilfully created a stunning hall floor. Throughout the whole process, Steve was patient, gave advice and involved me in each stage of the work. Also, because of his attention to detail, he provided suggestions for the thresholds to my dining and sitting room, something I had not given any real thought to. I learned so much from him during the week. Finally, there was never a day when he was not courteous, cheerful, good humoured and passionate about his work. It is a long time since I first contacted Steve, but it has been worth the wait. I now have an impressive floor which will become part of the history of my house. I would have no hesitation in recommending Steve to anyone considering a similar project.Moreexpand_more
Response : Simmy holds the number 2 position for the amount of time on my to do list, a client in Glasgow only just beat Simmy by one year :) the contract was awkward with regard to the amount of leeway in the floor = Zero, however I took my time to produce a floor that my client was happy with rather than an ok floor. I enjoyed installing the floor and Simmy is a great client , even learnt how to make decent tea -- eventually Cheers Steve.

25 Kimberley Drive. Liverpool. September 2013. To whom it may concern. Steve Sinnott (Heritage Tiling) installed a replacement tiled floor in the hall of our Edwardian home, the original had been taken out completely some years before we bought the property. He also repaired a smaller area of geometric tiling in the vestibule which had been damaged by the installation of a gas supply c. 1970. The new floor is a fantastic addition to our home and we have no regrets appointing Steve to undertake the work. He provided sound advice regarding the design of the new floor, including the provision of extra details round the door thresholds which it hadn't occurred to us to ask for but which are a great addition. The new floor wasn't an easy project to set-out, the plan of the hall is very irregular and there are few, if any, straight lines and the time and effort Steve put into laying out the design has certainly paid off. The work was carried out with the bare minimum of disruption, on time and to budget and it was always entertaining to chat with Steve at the end of the day. The restoration was skilfully undertaken and the repaired patch is indistinguishable from the original areas. Best Wishes. Mark Adams.Anna Aiston.
Response : Thanks Mark & Anna, I enjoyed installing the new B&W Ennerdale geometric pattern and although it was tricky at times because as you say the hall is very irregular the floor installation does not show any of those problems and the restoration of the porch floor is near seamless Cheers Steve.
Jonathan Beet
Wirral
Our kitchen red quarry tiled floor was very drab and covered in paint /plaster etc, it was in need of a good clean, we found Heritage Tiling via the website. Steve gave the floor a deep restorative cleaning which produced various shades of red in the tiles not seen before because of the grime. I elected to do the sealing myself, I’m very pleased with the result Jon Beet.
Response : Hi Jon, thanks for the review, although this floor is of a simple type compared to some others we have restored I still lavish the same care on a red tiled floor as I would with a floor full of encaustics, the floor looked great after cleaning Cheers Steve.
Deirdre Evans
Newcastle
The improvement in my hall, inner hall and cloakroom, since Steve repaired them, is amazing. He went out of his way to make sure that all the tiles which he had to replace were the best possible match and also undertook additional work at no further cost to myself. He worked efficiently and without inconvenience to the household. I am delighted with the result and have no hesitation in recommending him.
Response : Thanks Deirdre, i enjoyed removing the damaged & out of sequence tiles that marred your floor, I'm glad you are so happy :-) Cheers Steve.
John Brookfield
Newcastle
Lovely work and great service.
Response : Thanks John, i did include free of charge the repair and cleaning of a tiled path on this contract, otherwise the outside tiling would have looked awful. Cheers Steve.

Steve laid a reproduction floor in the hall of our edwardian house as well as doing a little light restoration to the vestibule floor. The floor is stunning and a talking point. With the age of the house, the hall walls are not entirely straight anymore but Steve's skills ensured the floor looks straight from all angles. I would highly recommend Heritage and Steve. Even if he can talk the hind leg off the proverbial donkey! :).
Response : Thanks Michelle, This was one of the more complex patterns from the Olde English catalogue, it was a complicated cotract but one i enjoyed doing, no hind legs were damaged during the work :-) Cheers Steve.

Steve came highly recommended and we weren't disappointed. We can't recommend Steve and his team highly enough. Fantastic job that will last generations. Many thanks !
Response : Thanks Gavin, a difficult job as the trenches were filled in with a strong grano mix, it was worth the effort all the best Steve.
