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.

Getting full refund after cancellation of order

Am giving 3 stars because a full refund wasn’t initially given when I cancelled my order a day before delivery. After a few emails and many calls , the company gave me the rest of the money they had withheld. I’m happy about that but it was a hassle. I was sent an email acknowledging my frustration and that was a good thing they did .

Magnificent

I want to thank Fired Earth.

I'd ordered 4 freebie tile samples:

Georgica Pond Polished.
Ramsbury Multi.
Onyx Green Polished.
Aegean Pink Marble.

I asked for them on the 17th March 2025 and they arrived on the 19th! They're all beautiful!

Very well done, 10/10 and 5 gold stars!

Quality paint, great colour

Bought the Ultramarine Ashes emulsion. It arrived quicker than expected.
Only done a test on the wall, so have not used it for full coverage, but from the feel of the paint it is very good quality. One coat has given the section decent coverage, so I am hoping two will give a fully flat consistent finish.
The pigment itself is really nice...a sea green/sage green tone, really calming colour. This should work really well in our late victorian, high ceilinged lounge.
Very pleased at this stage

Superb. Cheaper than buying through trade suppliers and the big warehouse. Free delivery within a few days. And, of course, the paint looks great.

Ludicrous delivery cost

They charged £50 delivery for £50 worth of tiles. Also refuse to accept returns of part orders.

Reply from Fired Earth

Hi Chris, Thank you for leaving a review of your recent experiences. The tiles you ordered were large format tiles consequently they had to be delivered on a pallet. The pallet delivery is charged on weight, with a minimum fee. We do not accept partial return of orders, this is advised at point of purchase. There are many reasons for this, not least of which is to discourage waste and encourage careful ordering from the start.

Great Customer Service!

The Customer Service at Fired Earth Darts Farm was fantastic. They went above and beyond to be helpful. The tiles we bought look great, and we’re looking forward to using the paint. I would highly recommend.

Managed to sort out a complicated delivery to an address with no vehicular access- this, after I had made a mistake with my original order, only realising g it was going to the wrong address on the day my tiles were meant to be delivered! Impressive customer service from all involved ( and there were quite a few), rare to find, these days! Thank you to all involved with getting my delivery to Cornwall, rather than Oxford, and then having the courier carry them pack-by-pack up the alleyway. If it were possible, I’d give you all ten stars.
