About S&M Taylor, Rochester

Firstly Hello,

My name is Matthew Taylor and thank you for reading my info page,

My family have been involved in every aspect of the tile industry for over 60 years.
This vast pool of knowledge alongside the Apprenticeship i have served with my own father and my own 17 years experince as a Tiler has left me with a skill set of which i am very proud.

Based in Rochester i carry out work all across Kent, Medway, Maidstone, Sevenoaks and Tonbridge Areas in particular

With comprehensive knowledge and experience across the tiling spectrum from Downstairs Cloakrooms to Swimming Pools, Ceramics and Porcelain to Natural Stone and Mosaic, plus Underfloor Heating and Insulation to Wetrooms, i will be happy to help and advise on any project you may have.

As Modern tiles nowadays are getting larger and have a Rectified edge (very square edge as though they have been sawn up) i do prefer to do my own preparation and to see the job as early as possible to advise on what i need to be done.

I am a Tiler first and foremost, i stick to what i know and have served a full apprenticeship in and have been trained and do, i do NOT get involved in other trades of which i have no experience or qualifications to back myself up with so do not offer Plumbing, Bathroom Fitting, Electrics or Brain Surgery.

I look forward to hearing from you,

Matthew Taylor

    "Mathew has been polite, professional & so easy to work with throughout our project. All work was carried out quickly, with no mess or stress. His eye for detail and forward planning meant that all the grout lines matched our room and kitchen really well. His knowledge and expertise helped us get over a few issues and we now have a fantastic looking floor. I cannot fault him and will highly recommend to all."
