Customers Testimonials
Fleur Nelson, Jesmond:
“Kardean floor was laid - Paul was very helpful indeed and the standard of his work was very good.”
February 2012
Bob and Elaine Russell, Lanchester:
“We have recently had a total bathroom refurbishment and a bedroom/en-suite conversion. Paul was the major tradesperson involved installing ceilings, full wall tiling and Karndean flooring in both areas. In addition he project-managed the whole job, organising and liaising with plumbers, plasterers and electricians as required. Throughout the whole period the level of customer care shown by Paul was excellent and it was clearly important to him that the finished product should be to our complete satisfaction – as indeed it was. Hardly surprising then that the other tradesmen Paul called upon also provided top quality work. The quality of Paul’s work, his attention to detail and his professionalism are second to none and, as a result, the finished rooms are absolutely superb. Paul is extremely personable and friendly – it was indeed a pleasure to have him in the house. We would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Paul to anyone who requires top quality work.”

Michael White, Darras Hall:
“I first met Paul whilst he was working for a family member and could tell by the care and dedication that he took in his work that whenever I needed a tiler I would want to use him. Paul took me to a reputable stone supplier where we were able to select stone for bathrooms, kitchen and flooring. From start to finish Paul's involvement with our new-build was paramount, his research and understanding of what was required was second to none and the end result is simply first class.”
January 2012
Simon Merritt, Extreme-Clean:
“Fantastic, Paul tiled the walls, fitted the ceiling and laid Karndean flooring in our bathroom. He also project-managed the job and arranged plumbers, plasterers and electricians, which gave us little to worry about. Paul is a very skilled craftsman - difficult to find these days. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone. Thank you Paul for a beautiful bathroom.”
January 2012
Adrian and Louise Teasdale, Beamish:
“We discovered Paul through a mutual friend after our original tiler caused us huge problems with a wet room. Paul had a look at the job, explained that he would be able to put everything right for us and has been true to his word all through the process. His timekeeping, professionalism as well as his attention to detail cannot be beaten - he is a true perfectionist. The end result has exceeded our expectations, with Paul suggesting some changes that enhanced the look of the bathroom from our original concept. Naturally, because of our experience, we would not hesitate to recommend him for any tiling work required. Paul is a craftsman, something that is rare to find these days.”
October 2011
Mr and Mrs Bradley, Lanchester:
“This is the second time we have used Paul's services and on both occasions we have been extremely satisfied with the work carried out and his professionalism. Paul helped us select the tiles for our conservatory and ordered and arranged for their delivery. He also arranged for an electrician to install the underfloor heating and coordinated diaries so that everything went smoothly. We have no hesitation in recommending him and would certainly use his services in the future.”
October 2011
Gerald Maskery, Maskery & Co Solicitors, Consett:
“Exceptional service, the Karndean flooring was stripped and a gloss sheen was applied. It looks fantastic. We are going to have the other rooms treated. I highly recommend Paul.”
September 2011
Garry Hopper, Chief Executive, GCL Mi-Seat, Consett:
“Paul and Neil carried out work at our home over 3 days which entailed lifting tiles from the kitchen floor and carpet from the hallway, levelling the concrete base and laying a new Karndean floor to each room. The change in the look of both rooms was, to say the least, fantastic, and I can firmly state that the job could not be bettered by anyone. I would highly recommend Paul's work to anyone wishing to change the flooring in their premises and we will definitely be using him again in the not too distant future for further work to our home.”
September 2011
Louise Emerson, Lanchester:

James Taylor, Consett:
“A professional job, from not only a highly professional fitter but a nice man. Paul was accommodating and more than happy to work around my work schedule.

Huge Thank You Paul.”

“Paul and Neil fitted a Kardean floor in our sitting room. The age of the property meant it wasn't a straightforward job but Paul provided sensible practical solutions to the issues which came up. The floor looks great.”
December 2010
Neil Finnigan, Shotley Bridge:
“Paul layed a Karndean floor for us in our kitchen recently and I can say that not only is the final result of outstanding quality, but the overall service including technical advice, was exceptional. I would recommend Paul, without any hesitation, to anyone looking for a quality job from a true professional who also offers good value for money.”

January 2010
Tom & Hazel Beckwith, Leadgate:
“My wife and I recently had a new kitchen fitted. We were pleased with the kitchen, but not as delighted as we feel we should have been. It was not until Paul Coyle laid a new floor and tiled the walls that our expensive new kitchen fit finally had the “WOW” factor. It is with this in mind that, without hesitation, I highly recommend Paul Coyle to anyone undertaking such a task. A Master of his Art, for which we are most grateful.”
December 2009
Jim and Susan Robinson, Lanchester:
“From beginning to end Paul offered expert advice in planning what we were doing. He was both professional and friendly throughout resulting in a first rate job which exceeded our expectations and has impressed friends and family. We would have no hesitation in recommending Paul to anyone and wouldn't contemplate looking elsewhere for tiling services if planning future work in our own home.”
November 2009
Suzanne Rehan:
“Paul laid our ceramic kitchen floor tiles with professionalism and expertise second to none. Paul is an extremely pleasant guy and I wouldn't hesitate in recommending his service to anyone. I was delighted with the level of service. Excellent value for money at a competitive price.”
June 2009
Jenny Drought:
“Paul could not have been more helpful, he laid a kitchen, utility and conservatory floor in Karndean, he fitted in with work that was being done by others, we had to rearrange his times as the other work did not run to schedule, he was cheerful, very helpful, moving washing machines and heavy tables, and the work was amazing. We are delighted with the result.”
March 2009
Alan Shield, Stanley:
“From start to end, Paul gave excellent service on both wall and floor coverings. His advice was spot on and his commitment to quality second to none. If a rating out of 10 was required I would have to say 11. Our kitchen has turned out better than expected.”
March 2009
Susan Brooks, Lanchester:
“Paul takes his time to ensure the job is carried out to a high standard.”
March 2009
Mark Helm, Coxhoe:
“We wanted a top quality floor for our new kitchen and dining room. Paul’s professionalism and obvious pride in his work and craftsmanship was evident from our first meeting with him. We openly discussed ideas of flooring combinations to compliment both rooms before deciding on an excellent oak effect with walnut trim.
The fitting itself was completed inside 3 days with Paul and Neil working flexible hours to minimise disruption. The attention to detail that the lads displayed gave us confidence that the finished product would be of the highest quality.
The finished floor is superb and exactly what we wanted to achieve. The walnut trim aligns with the walls and features of each room. The quality and detailing of the cornering is particularly eye catching and completes a floor that is totally unique to our property.”
February 2009
Gregor and Thelma Jack, Witton Gilbert:
“Paul provided excellent advice when he met with us to provide a quote. Although we had our own ideas we went along with his recommendation on pattern and product which proved to be a very wise move. The finished floor in our bathroom looks terrific and has been laid by Paul and his partner to an extremely high standard. They are both very personable and trustworthy. I have no hesitation in recommending them.”
February 2009
Dora and Graham Smith, High Shincliffe:
“Paul's name was given to us by a salesman in a tile warehouse at Team Valley. He told us that Paul 'was the best', and so it proved.
We had two new en suite bathrooms built, and were looking for floor coverings to complete the picture. Paul helped us in the planning/design stage by providing tile samples and discussing the job with us. Later he and Neil showed great flexibility in working around our builder's schedule, in an allocated slot. They arrived mid- afternoon, and announced they would stay until the job was finished- 10.00pm!, and what a transformation!
The design and finish are quite beautiful, and in one of the bathrooms the design is outstanding. Several friends were left standing in awe!! Our Karndean floor is a little more expensive than some, but it is worth every penny. Both Paul and Neil certainly know how to lay a floor, and the attention paid to small details is exceptional in the trade these days.
We can heartily recommend both Paul and Neil, they won't let you down, and the results are truly stunning.”
February 2009
Amanda Murray, Shotley Bridge:
“We had some Karndean flooring supplied and fitted in our bathroom by Paul Coyle. He came out quickly to give a quote, and then turned up as arranged to carry out the work. The flooring was absolutely perfect, he did an exceptional job and we are very pleased with the final results.”
February 2009
Tania and David Taylor, Hexham:
“Paul and Neil recently fitted Project flooring in our kitchen and hallway. We were very impressed with their level of professionalism and service, and it is genuinely impossible to praise them highly enough.
The job turned out to be more complicated than we could have imagined, as lots of work needed to be done to the subfloor before the new flooring itself could be laid. We were grateful for Paul's advice on this, as we knew that the new flooring would be going down on solid and long-lasting foundations.
Paul and Neil worked extremely hard, with real dedication and attention to detail. Just as important, they worked with good humour throughout. I can honestly say that they were a joy to have around!
I would sum-up by saying that Paul and Neil are not just people who lay flooring - they create floors. We are delighted with our new floor - it's warm and welcoming and has real 'wow factor'! I would recommend Paul and Neil to anyone, without hesitation.”
January 2009
Sarah Longstaff, Gosforth:
“Paul has recently fitted a limestone floor to our new kitchen, with the help of Neil. Paul has been a true professional from our first meeting, always prompt in sending quotes, returning our calls regarding queries, and helping us find an excellent supplier for the stone. He was very accommodating when we had to change the original date for fitting, and completed the work on time, working extremely long hours to do so. His attention to detail was excellent, the workmanship was second to none, and the resulting floor is outstanding! Paul has also tiled a small bathroom and an alcove in the kitchen. Both jobs have also been completed to an excellent standard, and we have been delighted to have worked with Paul. We would have no hesitation in recommending Paul to our friends and family, and we will been booking Paul again when we renovate our other bathrooms.”
October 2008
Sheila Drever, Winlaton Mill:
“We have a concrete floor which was in an awful mess, not level, problems with damp. We had lived with this for years as other tilers were put off by the condition of the floor. Paul went to a lot of trouble to ensure that the floor was level, having to dig much of it up and clear the site prior to treating it. He subsequently laid travertine floor tiles and also tiled the walls - he did a fantastic job. We are very pleased with the results and would highly recommend him. He was prompt, efficient and his work is of an excellent quality.”
July 2008
Claire Foster, Consett:
“It’s difficult to know where to start in reviewing Paul’s service; from first recommendation to completion of the work Paul demonstrated a highly professional attitude and an outstanding attention to detail. It was 2 weeks before the birth of our first child that we contacted Paul. It was our initial thought that we had a break in the grout of our existing tiles and therefore a fairly routine repair job. I contacted Paul who actually arrived 2 hours later to inspect the job. Within a matter of minutes Paul had identified a much greater problem, one that could have developed into a major structural issue. Understanding the time restraints we were under with the impending birth, Paul took immediate action to offer a full solution. Paul worked to rearrange his diary and successfully completed the work prior to the arrival of our new family member! It was necessary to involve a number of trade people, including plumbers and plasterers, with Paul’s experience within the industry he has built up a trusted group of reputable contacts and he was able to handle all the coordination of these firms to allow me to enjoy the remainder of my pregnancy stress free! Paul not only completed a superb job that is over and beyond my expectations but also provided a reassuring calmness to a situation. It is with no hesitation that I recommend Paul Coyle to you.”
July 2008
Frank Johnston, Shotley Bridge:
“After our new kitchen was fitted we wanted a floor that complemented and added to the feel of this special room. Paul advised us on all the floor options available and once we had chosen, samples were provided to help narrow down to the exact colour and texture to match our kitchen units. The service before fitting, during fitting and after completion has been exceptional, the professional attitude and workmanship splendid. I would recommend Paul Coyle to anyone.”
July 2008
Mrs Dixon, Consett:
“Paul and Neil's thorough planning, preparation and attention to detail has restored my faith in workmen. They discussed my floor at length and patiently helped me to plan the colour and design choice to ensure it met with my needs and wishes. I now have a perfect floor that sets off my kitchen so well that the whole room looks like a showroom, without the showroom price.”
May 2008
Alistair Seccombe, Derwent Garden Village, Consett:
“My bathroom had previously suffered significant water damage and Paul Coyle and colleague Stephen Eglon were my chosen contractors to carry out the repairs. Aware of the calibre of both men, I now have a bathroom which is fit for purpose, with a stable bath and tanking (waterproofing) kit to the shower. After seeing some of the stunning bathrooms Paul has already tiled in large-format travertine, I opted for the same material for walls and floor. He didn't disappoint, producing a handsome brick bond pattern and even incorporating a cleverly-angled travertine shelf at the foot of the bath to allow splashes to drain harmlessly away.” May 2008
Grant Riddick, Newton, near Stocksfield:
“The professionalism shown in laying the Karndean floor in our kitchen was of the highest standard and we were delighted with the quality of the finish. We were also very pleased with the friendly and courteous service shown throughout.”
April 2008
Judith Curran, Consett:
“From the first phone call to Paul completing the job I was impressed with the accuracy of the timescale of events. Paul came into my house, respected it, and left leaving me with a job very well done. I was so impressed I have requested two more estimates. Thank you Paul.”
April 2008
David Hume, Newton Aycliffe:
“We would like to thank Paul for a quick quote, ongoing advice and commitment to the job. He telephoned when he promised he would and gave additional advice on what we should do about the damaged flooring caused by a previous flood we had a few years ago. Also thanks to Neil who had a foggy trip from Blackpool. Excellent job from both Paul and Neil.”
Mar 2008
Elaine and Keith Hogg, Lanchester:
“Paul's advice on the design and his craftsmanship in laying the floors has resulted in our bathrooms looking top class. In addition his skillful work was supported by a professional and pleasant service.”
Mar 2008
Mr & Mrs Lee, Leadgate:
“From our first phone call to Paul about the Karndean flooring range we received excellent service. Paul discussed the appropriate styles and colours for our porch, downstairs toilet and bathroom; he gave us a quote within days and arranged a fitting date. Paul and Neil arrived at the stated time and day. We are very pleased with the job they did; attention to detail and level of service throughout was exceptional.”
Feb 2008
Tom and Michelle Weldon, Burnhope:
“Paul's suggestions and advice regarding alternatives for the installation of new tiling to our en-suite bathroom were creative and well thought through. We are delighted with the way the job was conducted and Paul's commitment to ensure that the work was completed within a very short time frame. His workmanship is first rate and was carried out in a polite and courteous manner. A first class job! Could not wish for anything better.”
Feb 2008
David Ronsdale, Beamish:
“We chose Paul Coyle to tile our kitchen. The advice he gave us at the outset, regarding some concerns we had, turned out to be absolutely correct. The job was completed to our total satisfaction with the minimum of disruption and in a professional manner. I would not hesitate to recommend Paul.”
Feb 2008
Ray Convery, Leadgate:
“We're relieved that we invested in quality materials and workmanship for our bathroom. We chose natural stone (travertine) and together with Paul we designed mosaic columns. Paul fitted stone profiles around door casings to act as architraving, and now our bathroom is our favourite room in the house!”
Feb 2008
Richard and Barbara Painter, Redgate Hall, Wolsingham:
“We were both delighted with the quality of Paul Coyle's tiling. Considering the historical character of our Victorian home, a well-considered brief seemed crucial. As it transpired Paul made a daunting-looking task appear quite easy!
He developed the actual designs himself after listening carefully to what we wished to achieve and the products we preferred. He then recommended the designs, always improving on our initial thoughts, giving a great finished product. Paul's attention to detail was second to none.
With an old house refurbishment there are always unexpected difficulties as nothing is straight or level, but Paul overcame all that was thrown at him! The en-suite was particularly difficult, but Paul dealt with unexpected problems, worked with as little disturbance as possible to the rest of the house, and was respectful of the premises (unlike certain other trades!!). He delivered a first class finished product and every time we use the rooms we appreciate the quality of his workmanship.”
Jan 2008
Richard and Gill Johnson, Bath Terrace, Gosforth:
“We are absolutely thrilled with the finished kitchen floor. It has transformed the kitchen, not only in the way it looks (which is a huge improvement) but also the level of comfort, thanks to the under-floor heating. Everyone, without exception, who has seen the finished kitchen has remarked first of all on the quality of the tiles and the excellent standard of fitting. In addition to this we're very grateful that you managed to fit us in at short notice, giving up personal time in order to finish the tiling and so allow the rest of the work on the kitchen to progress.”
Jan 2008
Karen Little, The Big Optician, Newcastle:
“Paul and Neil have created such a beautiful, practical Handcrafted Karndean floor for us that we’re having them back to do our examination room and stairs. Their knowledge and skill is necessary to ensure a safe solution in areas of our premises which require high levels of practicality - where patients’ eyesight and therefore co-ordination might in some cases be compromised.”
Nov 2007
Derek Wright, Physio, NUFC:
“Paul went above and beyond the call of duty on my home - a project which has involved a lot of research and painstaking work. His emphasis on natural materials was entirely appropriate and the result is stunning - wall and floor tiles are of pure, natural minerals such as limestone and travertine, each requiring cutting by hand. Both my home and my lifestyle have benefited hugely from Paul’s amazing craftsmanship.”
Nov 2007
Ed Clarke, Meadow Rise, Consett:
“It gives me great pleasure to recommend Paul Coyle to you - his tiling is outstanding. I was a senior manager for a chain of five star hotels and during my career I have seen thousands of stunning bathrooms. Paul’s attention to detail has made my bathrooms truly the best I have ever seen.”
