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.

Good Morning Peter, sadly tiles are heavy and carriers do charge by weight. But you are always welcome to talk to a showroom to see if there is anything they can do.

Tile ordering advice

Fired Earth Bath store. Helpful staff, except we were encouraged to allow 10% wastage in our tile order. None of this wastage was needed and we are left with 2 unopened boxes (£200) of tiles which - of course - can not be returned. Bath staff gave us some flannel about being able to sell them on eBay - we’ve been trying for ages and it’s likely we will give them away - or landfill. I suspect very few ever need anything like this 10% wastage figure - so why keep promoting it.

Hello Gareth, thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. Hope you're happy with your project. We would love to see the finished room. Please tag us @firedearthuk.

The 10% wastage is industry standard for cuts, breakages and spares that you may need in the future, as tiles we would be able to get you but not in the same batch, which would differ in shade, tone, colour and calibration. We would recommend if possible on keeping them.

The product is tough and an attractive colour. It was used to border a small front garden flower bed.

We are glad you like our colour range Adrian. The hard part is to choose which of the 120 colours you like the best. We recommend trying our sample pots to see how the colours work in your rooms.

Fires Earth paint colours

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' some time ago and thought the current venture might be an opportunity - but it seems I left it too long.

Hello Janet, thank you for your review of our paint. Our paint has high pigment levels which increases the depth of colour and improves longevity. Our 120 colours stand the test of time. We are glad you like them.

The range of tiles they stock is unique and after much searching elsewhere I found the perfect tiles for my new fireplace surround.

Highly recommend
