Welcome to Aldershaw Handmade Tiles Ltd

We at Aldershaw specialise in 'Truly Hand made tiles', for the roof, the wall and Terracotta tiles for the
floor.
We have been in existence for many years now, situated in 5 acres of ancient woodland in the heart of the Sussex countryside.
For the majority of our products we use Wadhurst
clay from our own clay pit here on site, from which we generate six
different colour to match practically anything in the region and provide
our customers with a palette from which to create the effect that they
require.

Each tile is unique bears the
characteristics of the craftsman or woman who made it.

In addition, we buy in a
Gault clay to produce the genuine article for the roofs of Cambridgeshire
and Ely areas of East Anglia. We are proud to be one of only two companies using Gault clay to provide the authentic article for
restoration or new development in sensitive planning areas.
Whilst Aldershaw are not major brickmakers we do manufacture specials, either standard or purpose made and a limited
production of Imperial size and 2" bricks together with specialised brick mullion windows air bricks and a host of other
products. |

Of the many restoration products, mathematical
tiles are a significant proportion, these tiles are made in all colours either
sanded rubbed or glazed in a range of sizes and profiles.

Another major product is our exclusive 'Sussex Terracotta' floor tiles with a range of sizes shapes and colours second to
none no project is too small or too large (see floor tiles page and choose
colours for the crypt of St. Paul's cathedral project).
Here at Aldershaw we care about protecting our Architectural Heritage as much as we do the environment, which is a duty that we take very seriously.
We have a comprehensive programme of waste minmalisation, heat efficiency, heat recovery, CHP, recycling of all waste, recovery and use of surface water for process and other
