Installation & care

Installation & care

  • Adhesive: Use a high-quality white flexible tile adhesive suitable for glazed ceramic wall tiles to prevent shadowing through the light-coloured glaze.

Delivery

In-stock orders are dispatched within 3–5 working days, with express options available. Special-order and made-to-order ranges carry their own lead time, shown on the product page and confirmed when you order. Pallet, slab, large-format and bathware orders travel on a specialist off-load service — we confirm the timescale and book a date that suits you before dispatch.

Delivery is calculated at checkout from your order and postcode (we do not offer showroom collection) and UK delivery is free on orders over £1,000 on most ranges. For pallet deliveries please tell us about access issues in advance — low trees or bridges, narrow roads or gateways, gravel drives, or no turning or unloading space — as a re-delivery charge may apply if we cannot complete delivery.

When your order arrives

Please check your delivery as soon as it arrives. Once goods are unloaded they become the responsibility of the receiver, so if anything isn’t right, contact us within three working days and we’ll put it right quickly.

Returns

Unused, complete orders can be returned within 14 days of delivery; as tiles are picked and packed to your quantity, a restocking fee of 20–30% applies depending on the range. Special-order items are non-returnable unless damaged on delivery or faulty. Ordering a free sample first is the simplest way to avoid a return.

Product Frequently Asked Questions

How many Original Style Artisan Helmingham brick tiles do I need per square metre?

To cover one square metre, you will need approximately 59 Artisan Helmingham brick tiles (225x75mm). When calculating your tile requirements, we highly recommend ordering an additional 10% on top of your total area measurement to account for cuts, corners, and natural wastage during installation.

Are these ceramic brick tiles suitable for kitchen splashbacks and showers?

Yes. These premium ceramic wall tiles are highly durable and fully suitable for internal wet and dry areas. Their easy-to-clean gloss finish makes them an ideal choice for creating elegant kitchen splashbacks, fully-tiled bathroom walls, and stylish shower enclosures.

Do I need to seal Original Style Artisan crackle glaze tiles before grouting?

Yes. Because this beautiful Artisan tile features a distinctive, randomly crackled glaze (known as crazing), tile sealing is strictly required before you apply grout. This process protects the delicate surface from absorbing moisture, grout pigments, or everyday stains.

What patterns can I use to lay 225x75mm metro brick tiles?

The versatile 225x75mm rectangular size of the Helmingham brick tile allows for a variety of stylish layout designs. Popular tile installation patterns include the classic horizontal brick-bond (subway style), a contemporary vertical stack-bond to make ceilings feel higher, or a traditional herringbone pattern for a striking feature wall.
