Contractor In Focus:  Henry, Master Tiling

Through her projects Kate Walker from Kate Walker Design collaborates with a range of interior designers, builders, architects and developers. She also works with a number of extremely talented contractors. Without exception, Henry the Tiler is one of these people and is therefore her ‘go to’ tiler on many residential and smaller commercial jobs.

Henry has “been around for years”. He is a craftsman of the highest calibre who takes tremendous pride in his work. His attention to detail and quality work ensure he receives a huge number of letters of referral and recommendations. “My English is not great, but I like to think my work speaks for itself.”  Henry’s key attributes are his gentle nature, extreme professionalism, attention to detail and excellent work ethic.  Henry works with many mediums, including stone, ceramic, porcelain, glass, mosaics and more.

Kate has no hesitation in recommending Henry to any of her clients who require floor, bathroom, kitchen or external tiling. He works right across Melbourne from the northern suburbs down to Portsea.

Tiling Tip from Henry: “Purchasing good quality tiles is just half the story. Even the most expensive tiles can look disappointing if not laid by a professional. Don’t be afraid to ask to see examples of a tilers work before going ahead.  Look out for details such as grout joint thickness, quality of mitred edges, use of metal angle to hide faulty workmanship, centred tiles in a room, full tiles to the ceiling, and cleanliness of the site after the jobs completed.”
