Concept identity · Tiling & stone · Cardiff
Filo is a tiling and stone studio. Set out from the centre, fixed on a full bed, joints held to a line you could measure with a rule. Bathrooms, marble, wet rooms and heritage floors across Cardiff and South Wales.
Anyone can stick a tile to a wall. The difference is what you can still see in five years.
Flat, dry, sound. We check falls, prime the screed and sort the boards before a single tile comes out of the box. Every failed floor we've ever been called to fix, failed underneath.
Scroll to lay the floor
Domestic and commercial, indoor and out. Five disciplines under one team, so there's no waiting on a second trade to turn up before the room can be finished.
Strip out to final seal. Tanking, tray or wetroom former, walls, floor, niches and silicone — one team, one point of contact, no waiting on three trades.
Carrara, travertine, granite, slate. Dry-laid and sequenced for vein match before anything is fixed, then honed edges, mitred corners and the right sealer for the stone.
The classic Cardiff front path. New concrete base, geometric set-out from the door centre, reproduction encaustic tiles cut and laid to the original pattern of the terrace.
Large-format porcelain over underfloor heating, decoupling where it's needed, and splashbacks cut tight to sockets and window reveals. We'll collect the tiles for you.
Frost-proof porcelain and stone laid to fall, with the drainage detail sorted before anything is fixed. Heavy stone on pool surrounds and terraces, where movement joints matter more than the tile.
Reviews
Illustrative testimonials, written to demonstrate the layout. On a live build this section pulls verified reviews from the client's own profile.
Set the floor out from the centre so both walls finished on a full tile. Nobody had done that before.
Screed one day, tiles the next, gone by Friday. The dates they gave us were the dates we got.
Sheeted the hallway, took the waste with them, left the place cleaner than they found it.
Based in Cardiff, covering the city and South Wales. If you're outside this list, ask — we travel for the right job.
Most tilers in the area work between £25 and £45 an hour, or a fixed rate per square metre. We price per job, not per hour, so you know the number before we start. Quotes are free and there's no obligation.
Either. Plenty of customers pick their own and we'll collect them on the way to site. If you'd rather we sourced them, we'll bring samples and handle the ordering.
Yes. Electric or wet systems both work, but the build-up matters — we use a decoupling membrane and a flexible adhesive so thermal movement doesn't crack the joints.
Yes, strip-out and disposal are included in the quote. We sheet up, keep the dust down and clear the waste when we leave.
A full installation typically runs five to nine working days depending on size, tanking and whether we're forming a wetroom. We'll give you the dates up front and stick to them.
Yes — public liability cover is in place and we're happy to send the certificate with your quote.
