Recommendations for Bathroom tiler in ED


Recommended Posts

I?d highly recommend Darren Roberts (Castle Plumbing). About five years ago, he saved our bathroom install after we made a bad decision with the first plumber/installer we?d hired. He?s since installed, tiled and refitted bathrooms for neighbours and friends. He recently finished two full bathroom installs for us, with a lot of tile work, in our new house. Both installs had some interesting challenges for Darren, which he handled with his usual resolve to make sure everything is to a high standard. Very confident he?d address any issues in the unlikely event we had any. Attached a few photos of his recent work for us. He?s very particular any making everything look good. At the moment we still have the old loo installed in one of our bathrooms at the house because renovations are still ongoing and Darren is worried that the nice new loo might get dirty or damaged if he installed it now. When he finished the tiling, covered it with cardboard, taped it down and put a sign on the bathroom door asking other tradespeople to keep everything clean please in the nice new bathroom. I?m just thinking bleach will clear up anything. But no. Do not mess with Darren?s new install.

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
