We can drill your tiles safely for you - without breakage's

We have the best equipment to drill any hole from 6mm to 125mm

In any tile type including granite, porcelain, marble

We own a number of radial pillar drills which reach deep into the tile depth giving a precision hole in your expensive materials with ease.

Radial drills are DIFFERENT to bench drills in that they have a moveable boom which increases the reach of the drill head by extending it over the tile. Freedom to drill tiles is key to a successful and accurate job. Bench drills are governed by the throat depth which will stop the edge of a tile before the drill head moves into the middle.

We charge £60 per hour machine time /our time with a minimum time of one hour. Each job is different so call for information. Delivery of up to three tiles at 600 x 300 anywhere in the UK is £50.

Options:

1) You can visit us, we will drill the tiles while you remain here on site. We will only charge you £60 an hour and the job will be time based. The longer you are here the more the job will cost. So for example if you are here from 10am until midday then your time on site is £120.

2) Send us the tiles and we will drill the holes to your specification. Four holes in two tiles will take us about 2 hours including set up time, marking, machine time, crating and repackaging for transit, transport to our courier company.

3) We collect the tiles from any site within the M25 at £50 for same day. Drilling time is £60 for one tile. Return delivery is £50. Total cost of collection, drilling and redelivery of a tile within the M25 area is £160 for one tile. For more tiles you just pay for more time.

Perfect results in any tile with no chipping. We can handle any size tile including large format

Quotations: Once we quote you a price over the telephone then that is the price you pay even if we take longer to complete the job. Example: You have three tiles to drill. Each tile has a different size hole. We quote you two hours machine time but it actually takes us three hours. We will only charge you for the two hours at £120.

Broken tiles: Who pays? Tiles are expensive and when we drill them, we assume the risk. If we break your tiles then we pay for them. Please note that in four years of drilling tiles we have NEVER broken a tile.

Incorrect drilling: When we drill a hole in a tile it will be to your exact written instructions which we insist on. If as a result of your instructions the hole is in the wrong place then you pay. We do not. Also you have to pay again for the replacement tile and our time to drill. Its therefore important that you correctly mark the tiles and check your measurements twice. The most common mistake people make is that they mark the back of the tile not the front of the tile. If we drill a tile we go in from the front. So we need you to be clear on your instructions. But don't worry because we have a lot of experience and will guide you fully in this area.

Broken tiles on delivery: If we send you tiles we crate them and protect them from damage. But if a tile gets broken we will claim against the courier.

Wrong size or rework. If you have made a mistake in your dimensions and the hole is too small then you will have to pay again. The biggest mistake is people specify a 40mm hole. We will drill a 40mm hole and it turns out that the hole is for a 40mm waste pipe. But 40mm is the internal diameter of the pipe and what you needed was a 42mm hole. In that case the mistake is your mistake, not ours.

We will only drill what you specify. However because we deal with this on a routine basis we will talk to you and make sure that the holes you want are for the pipes you think you need! What we are saying is that we will do our best to remove mistakes but in the end if you write down 105mm for a soil stack then we really will drill a 105mm hole. If you come back and say oh I meant 110mm then it is your error. We are flexible but the point of all this is to make sure you know what you want before you tell us.

The bottom line is that mistakes are expensive and time consuming.
