A word from our members

It is the smaller individual companies that form the basis of the membership of The Tile Association. We asked some independent fixers and retailers what they value most about TTA membership.

Fixer thoughts

Lifestile, Newcastle upon Tyne
We have found that programmes like this alongside membership of the TTA has been key in helping buyers choose which company to trust. We mention the TTA in our advertising, on vans, website and stationery and we know that customers do check we are bona fide members.

K L Tiling, Magor
Becoming a member of the TTA has given me a greater feeling of having better credibility in the market place and it is nice to know there is somebody there to assist with any problems I may have. The many benefits are a bonus also. I saved over £80 straight away on my liability insurance.

Ron Oliver Wall & Flooring Ltd, Shrewsbury
I value the back up my company receives from the TTA with advise on employment & legal matters as well as the inquiries for work that comes from being a member. The Tile Association also put me in touch with a good debt collecting agency who somehow collect my money and amazingly some still do business with me and pay on time.
