Victorian garden path restoration

[andyjake]

We are looking for someone to renovate our Victorian garden path. It's black and white tiled and a few tiles have been broken / lost. Any recommendations?

I saw two paths on croxted road being done yesterday - both looked like a really good finish..

maybe worth wandering down there.. between Shell Garage and the Turney Road turning

Just had mine done but it was the whole thing and not cheap.

Things to consider:

If you're losing tiles because the concrete underneath has cracked or is shot then replacing individual tiles will only be a temporary fix as heave/movement will happen each year esp in the local clay soil and lift tiles.

If it's just a few and the concrete base is sound then you just need a patch fix and any decent tiler could do it.

If you want to just add a few new tiles to an existing /old path then colour of the new ones won't match. I've got a load of old Victorian black and white spares which are weathered in...they are imperial measurement though not metric. If yours are the same and fit /match would be happy to let you have some.

Hi there,

If you still have some path tiles left over, I would like to buy some to repair ours with. From your user name, I'm thinking you are Dovercourt Road and we are too. We are in need of some black oblong edging tiles (about 6). Please let me know if you have some and how much you would like for them.

many thanks

I'm a garden designer and I worked with Richard Tindall recently who sorted the path, then I redesigned the rest of the front garden, on Dovercourt Road. He does a lot of the period pathways around there. His phone number is 07986 709854.
