Original Tile is based on Fell Lane in Keighley, the starting point for our work across West Yorkshire. Dave Ramsden brings over 25 years of tiling and multi-skilled trade experience to projects ranging from a kitchen splashback to a complete tiled floor. Whether you are updating a house in Utley, planning a bathroom in Riddlesden or replacing a hallway floor, the first step is a conversation about the room, the existing surface and the finish you want.
Discuss your Keighley project
Keighley combines a textile and engineering heritage with neighbourhoods stretching from Fell Lane and Braithwaite to Riddlesden and Long Lee. A room in an older house can present different conditions from a recent extension. Before choosing tile size, look at the existing floor, door clearances and how the new surface will meet adjacent rooms.
For a hallway or kitchen used every day, a restrained stone-effect or wood-effect porcelain can give visual warmth without a busy pattern. In a smaller bathroom, the position of the window, basin and shower often matters more than following a trend. Send photographs of the whole room and close-ups of damaged surfaces so preparation can be discussed alongside the finish.

If the project links a hallway, kitchen and utility, compare their existing heights before ordering. A continuous tile choice can work well, but thresholds, doors and changes in the underlying floor need consideration. Include each adjoining room when measuring and discussing the proposed layout.
Where you have original skirting, stonework or a fireplace, decide what will remain before removal starts. Tile thickness and perimeter cuts should work with those details. Photographs of corners and doorways help Dave understand where the new finish needs to meet the character already in the house.
A postcode, approximate dimensions, photographs and your preferred tile are a useful starting point. Mention whether the property will be occupied and whether this is its only bathroom. Those practical details matter when planning access and the order of installation, as well as the finished appearance.
Explore the work involved, compare finishes and bring your ideas to Dave. The surface, layout and preparation will be considered for your particular property.

Yes. Dave is based on Fell Lane, Keighley, BD22 6DT. Original Tile takes enquiries from Keighley and across West Yorkshire; discuss the address, scope and timing directly with Dave.
Yes. Send the dimensions and photographs of the existing floor. Door openings, stairs and adjoining flooring are particularly useful to show, because these affect both the layout and preparation.
