Anyone had any experiences with them?
Thinking of getting them to supply and fit terracotta tiles in my kitchen?

    Yeah. They're beautiful and expensive.

    You shouldn't have any trouble with them. I'd still find my own tiler though, I bet they charge a fortune for fitting.

    Well, they are certainly a company you can trust will still be here in 10 years time, they are part of the AGA group (you know, the really good cookers....)
    If it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, we have at least to consider the possibility that we have a small aquatic bird of the family anatidae on our hands

    Shop around, Fired Earth is now a brand, they've spent a lot of time and money building it up.

    You pay a premium for the name, but the product will have been sourced from pretty much the same place as any other tile supplier.

    Basically you'll pay through the nose but you should get a decent quality.
  • We are having these in our kitchen if they are of any interest to you:

    They can also just supply the terracotta tiles if thats all you want. Have recieved all the bits as we are fitting them ourselves and are very good quality.

    Thanks - funnily enough I came across this company when looking for parquet floors. Their product looks lovely.
    I have decided not to go for terracotta now - as people have advised me that they require a lot of upkeep.
