Lived up to its usual standards. I have bought FE paint before - 'Mad King George' - and the pigments last - unlike some that fade quickly. And I made a mental note to follow up 'A Misty Morning'... See more

Written by the company

The company began in an Oxfordshire farmyard in the early 1980s, selling terracotta floor tiles at a time when they were relatively unknown by the British public and weren’t available in tile shops. They proved hugely popular, and we opened a small London showroom selling just six different tiles. Customers began requesting glazed wall tiles to complement their terracotta floors and we sourced a small selection of other glazed tiles and put together a brochure covering our entire offering. By the mid 1990s, the company had grown from its humble beginnings on an Oxfordshire farm to having a number of showrooms in London and across the country. Today, we have 26 showrooms in the UK and expect to add two more in the coming year, including a brand-new destination store on New Kings Road in London. Our aim has always been to offer products produced with authenticity, creativity and style, and where possible both handmade and produced as close to home as we can manage. The UK Ceramics Industry has a long tradition and it is one we are keen to support. Having said that, where we spot a tile on our travels that is too beautiful to resist, we do of course secure it exclusively for our customers, many of whom are second generation fans of Fired Earth and its products. Decorating and design have become entrenched in the national mind not just as the preserve of the super wealthy, but as a way to create homes for ourselves and our families that reflect how we like to live today. At Fired Earth we like to think that although it may not be every day our customers choose to redecorate (although our paint does allow for just that level of obsession), we have identified the right looks and styles that feel perfect no matter what the style or age of property. Our website has grown too and now offers almost all of our collections to browse and buy online and shows stunning room sets and great design ideas to help inspire you.

Really first class

Really first class. Peter Jackson is a star. He has been so professional, supportive, funny, courteous, considerate and clear, not to mention his design talent. I am so pleased I decided to go for your design service, it’s so much more than I expected and has been very rewarding and enjoyable so far, that’s before even getting onto the beautiful products and choice.

Thank you for your review. We hope you love your new kitchen. In line with industry standards, our pallet deliveries are kerbside. The drivers are unable to assist with unloading or to enter a premises. Our transportation team would have discussed this when confirming your delivery details with you.

Fantastic Customer Service

I ordered some beautiful Metallic Vitreum Aurum Fan tiles online. Not only were they cheaper than elsewhere, they arrived promptly and were well packaged. Thank you to Marie, Jamie and Marcus who provided exceptional customer service to help with my special request

Gorgeous…

Firstly the product is in my view gorgeous (Onda Aquamarine tiles)
Second it was the same price we were going to pay Tops Tiles for a far less exciting product
Third it arrived on time and stunningly well packed.
Thank you Fired Earth
