We are proud to announce that we have been awarded the ceramic tiling package for the cutting-edge Halton Leisure Centre project in Widnes! Partnering once again with our esteemed colleagues at Wates Group, our skilled team is set to oversee the tiling works to the main 25m and learner pools, including the precision installation of the AGROB BUCHTAL l architectural ceramics pool edge tiling.
In addition to this, our scope of work extends to the further installation of over 3000m2 of wall and floor tiles, courtesy of our trusted supply chain partners Spectile Ltd. These tiles will finish the expansive pool surround area, wet and dry change facilities, and the main entrance foyer, providing a modern and functional aesthetic.
Commencing our operations in the next few weeks and extending through to the autumn, our dedicated team is eager to contribute to yet another high-profile leisure centre development.

We are proud to announce the successful conclusion of our latest project at Manchester's AO Arena, where our skilled site team, in collaboration with Galliford Try and their other excellent supply chain partners, have transformed the venue's VIP area.
Utilizing an expansive array of ceramic finishes, provided by our own regular supply chain partners Solus, Domus Group, and Verona, our team has brought to life a modern and visually striking design envisioned by AHR and 20.20 Limited.
The finished product promises to leave a lasting impression upon VIP guests following the area's much-anticipated opening. Notable highlights include the installation of Domus Group Rombini tiles on the face of the concourse bars, offering a captivating 3D finish. The VIP kitchens boast an added touch of grandeur and luxury with the installation of Solus Anodised 'Badger' Gold mosaic in the pass areas. Additionally, the classy toilet facilities feature intricate chevron-style Domus Group floor tiling.
Despite the logistical challenges and tight time constraints of the project, we are delighted with the final result. As we eagerly anticipate the upcoming opening, we welcome the opportunity to undertake similar projects in the near future.

Starting on site in June of 2023 we had a mammoth task at hand which involved the refurbishment of the 25m Main Pool.

Since then, we’ve carried our various different processes and for a large chunk of our time on the job we were carrying out preliminary works which included; smoothing and repairing the existing concrete, waterproofing to the pool walls, floor and existing movement joints in the concrete which included specific detailing with sealants and bandages around keep the pool watertight. The screeding to the pool base was a bonded Mapei Topcem screed installed by our specialist screeding subcontractor.

Hot on their heels we began to configure our pool edge detail which would later house our grating support tile, fingergrip and pool grating, simultaneously wall tiling and epoxy grouting.

All waterproofing, screed, adhesives, and grouts used were specified, produced, and supplied by Mapei, all tiles were supplied by Ceramic Tile Distributors.

This has been a challenging but rewarding project to be involved with and has turned out to be another top quality job from our team – now onto Phase 2!

Before the Christmas break we had the pleasure of celebrating Andrew Todd’s 25-year anniversary with Plunkett Tiling. Starting on the 7th September 1998 as a young and eager apprentice, Andrew, or Toddy as he is known to most, has developed into a great leader, an invaluable team player and an accomplished craftsman. His hard work and loyalty have left an indelible mark on our business and countless projects up and down the UK, each of which is a reflection of his dedication and expertise. We would like to thank Andrew for his commitment and service over the past quarter century, and look forward to working with him for many years to come.

After the success of Bank House, our most recent project with Bowmer and Kirkland Ltd, we are delighted to announce that we have been awarded the ceramic tiling package for the next project on the extensive Pilgrim Street re-development, the new HMRC Headquarters Pilgrims Quarter.
This project, the largest office development on Tyneside for many years, will contain 4,000M² of large format floor tiling to circulation and lobby areas and 3,000M² of wall tiling to WC and shower blocks, all supplied by Verona. We will also be using over 2,500M² of Marmox UK as an anti-fracture membrane in areas containing raised access flooring. All of the tiling and tilebacker board will be installed using a selection of Mapei (UK) Ltd products from their comprehensive range of preparation, tiling and waterproofing products.
With our tiling due to start in March 2024 we are excited to continue our work on this prestigious scheme.

Works are now well underway at our latest commercial leisure centre project, Maybole Community Campus, located in the beautiful Southwest of Scotland. Working alongside main contractor Morgan Sindall Construction & Infrastructure, a major critical objective on the project has been to prepare the concrete pool tank for the water retention test. In tandem with our supply chain partner Mapei (UK) Ltd, our skilled operatives diligently installed a series of specialist concrete repair and waterproofing products which ensured the tank passed with flying colours.
Following this, our team has completed the tiling works within the pool tank- in the blue and white of our host nation- as well as finishing works to an intricate pool edge, incorporating the installation of Wiesbaden channels, all provided by specialist supplier Spectile Ltd. Our site team has also installed some 750M² of Marmox tile backerboard in the facility’s pool hall and wet change village, thereby creating a purpose made, perfectly flat and regular background to receive the near 600M² of CTD Architectural Tiles supplied wall tiles.
Special recognition must go to our site team, who have created a simple but modern finish, completed to the highest of standards in not the most straightforward of situations, with over 200 M² of our tiling installed at heights above 3m! Keep up the good work team.
