Your new company

This organisation is a high-end tiling and stonework contractor specialising in both residential and commercial projects across design-led builds and refurbishments. They deliver premium wall, floor and outdoor tiling--plus certified waterproofing in wet areas--bringing architectural visions to life with precision and durability. Their approach is rooted in quality, transparency and innovation: rigorous quality checks, clear ongoing communication, and a structured process ensure that every tile is placed deliberately, not by chance. With a reputation in competitive markets for showing up, meeting deadlines and delivering consistently excellent outcomes, the company thrives on challenge and refinement. Its culture emphasises accountability, mutual respect and continuous improvement, making it ideal for team members who care deeply about their craft and want to grow with a forward-thinking operator.
