What Tilers Tools does

Tilers Tools is a UK-based professional trade supplier serving tilers, landscapers, and builders across the UK and Ireland. The company operates as an e-commerce-first distributor with a physical trade counter in Appleton, Warrington, and a local machine hire service from its Warrington warehouse (extended nationally via a Jewson tool hire partnership). Its 13-person team runs a catalogue spanning wet tile saws (Golz, Raimondi, RUBI, Kaufmann), tile cutting and levelling systems, diamond blades, power tools (Flex, Makita, DeWalt), hand tools, floor preparation equipment, paddle mixers, protective equipment, and 20mm porcelain paving slabs, complemented by the proprietary FUGA-PAVE ABC installation system (hybrid mortar, slurry primer, Flex XP grout) and the Babilonia Outdoor Kitchens sub-brand.

The business generates revenue through three primary streams: hardware reselling (tools, equipment, materials) sold via the tilerstools.co.uk e-commerce site with next-working-day delivery on orders placed before 2pm and a Trade Counter for walk-in collections; machine hire (wet saws, cleaning machines, wet vacuums) priced at £20-£325 per booking with refundable deposits; and value-added services including the FUGA-PAVE own-brand system, a FUGA-PAVE calculator, and content marketing (YouTube tutorials, blog posts, the LPG Landscape Paving Group Facebook community). A "Pay by Three" 0% interest financing option (£30-£2,000) addresses affordability for trade purchases. Pricing is published exclusive of VAT and the company is CHAS Elite accredited, a member of The Tile Association, and a 2019 Association of Professional Landscapers Service Provider of the Year.

Tilers Tools is a subsidiary of the Aquacut Limited Group, which also operates the Aquacut Fabrications Division (porcelain and stone fabrications) and the Babilonia outdoor living range. The company is privately held with no disclosed funding rounds, no listed ticker, and no public revenue disclosure. Strategic direction is set by the parent group, with Tilers Tools positioned as the retail and trade distribution arm of an integrated tiling, landscaping, fabrication, and outdoor living portfolio.
