Timeless Victorian Tile Installations
Steps, pathways, hallways, and fireplaces — we restore and install classic Victorian tiling across Sussex.
Victorian tiles bring timeless elegance to any property. At Coastal Tiling & Floors, we specialise in installing and restoring Victorian tiling across Brighton, Hove, Peacehaven, Saltdean, and the wider Sussex area — including Lewes, Worthing, and Seaford.
From classic black-and-white checkerboard pathways to ornate geometric hallway patterns and encaustic tile designs, we handle the full process — preparation, supply, and expert installation. We also restore and refurbish original Victorian and Edwardian tiles, carefully matching encaustic patterns and bringing faded period features back to life.
Whether it's a front path, entrance hallway, fireplace surround, or garden step, we have the expertise to create or restore beautiful Victorian tiling that adds real character and value to your home. Our work across Newhaven, Eastbourne, and Hastings showcases the care and precision we bring to every period property.
