MB Tiling: Southampton’s Team of Tiling Specialists, Trusted by Homes and Major Brands

Most tiling businesses start with one person and a van. MB Tiling did too — but over more than 25 years, founder Mark Strangward has grown it from a one-man operation into a team of five skilled tilers, with a client list that now stretches from local family bathrooms to some genuinely recognisable national brands. Based in West End, Southampton, MB Tiling covers an unusually wide area of the south of England, from Bournemouth in the west to Chichester in the east, and up through Winchester, Basingstoke, and Andover.

Whether it’s a full wet room installation, a striking feature wall, or a large commercial fit-out, MB Tiling combines genuine depth of experience with a level of trade and brand relationships that few tiling businesses of this size can match.

About MB Tiling — From One Tiler to a Team of Five

Mark Strangward started MB Tiling on his own, and over the following years grew it into a company of five tilers, all sharing the same passion for turning customers’ ideas into reality. With over 25 years of experience and extensive knowledge across every aspect of interior and exterior tiling, MB Tiling has built an exceptional portfolio — and a business where a large amount of the work now comes from repeat customers the team has built genuine relationships with over time.

No job is considered too small, from a single splashback through to the largest floor, and the team’s approach is built on the promise of giving any room the kind of finish you’d expect to see in a showroom.

Trusted by Recognisable Names

One of the clearest signs of MB Tiling’s standing in the trade is the calibre of brands it has worked with. The company’s client list includes Victoria’s Secret, The Ageas Bowl (Hampshire’s major international cricket ground), Hilton, and a range of well-known local hospitality names including Casa Brasil, Ocean Grill Italiano, and Harwoods. Being trusted with tiling work for global and nationally recognised brands says a great deal about the standard of workmanship and professionalism MB Tiling brings to a project — the same standard applied whether the client is a five-star hotel or a homeowner in West End.

A Genuine Network of Trade Partners

Beyond its own team, MB Tiling has built long-term working relationships with a wide network of complementary businesses across the region. The company works alongside kitchen companies including Intoto Kitchens, Kitchens Instyle, Silverbrow Kitchens, Kitchens & Beyond, and Ultra Plan Kitchens, as well as plumbing companies NJ Mellor Plumbing and OJS Plumbing and Heating. On larger projects, MB Tiling has also worked with building companies including PLM Homes, Caws Carpentry and Building, Stacco Building, Rob Watkins Builders, HBL Builders, 7T7 Building, Modnar Construction, Larchwood Construction, and Make Projects.

When it comes to sourcing tiles, MB Tiling has strong relationships with local suppliers including Atlas Ceramics in New Milton, On-The-Tiles Southampton, and The London Tile Company in Hedge End. For customers, this network means MB Tiling is often already well connected to the other trades and suppliers a bigger renovation project needs — a genuinely practical advantage when coordinating a full kitchen or bathroom refurbishment.

Tiling Services

Bathrooms and Wet Rooms

MB Tiling can create any bathroom design a customer has in mind, from a straightforward family bathroom refresh through to a full, bespoke wet room installation.

Flooring

From wood-look porcelain to natural stone or slate, MB Tiling’s flooring work is designed to make any room look genuinely impressive, whatever material or finish a customer chooses.

Feature Walls

A well-designed feature wall can transform a room, and MB Tiling regularly creates striking feature walls across bathrooms, kitchens, and living spaces as part of a wider tiling project.

Underfloor Heating

MB Tiling supplies and installs under-tile heating using Devi Mat systems, a brand the team has trusted for years to deliver reliable warmth underfoot in bathrooms, wet rooms, kitchens, and conservatories.

Victorian Tiling

Among MB Tiling’s specialist skills is genuine expertise in Victorian tiling — a traditional, pattern-based style that demands real precision and experience to install properly, and one the team particularly excels in, alongside its work in ceramic, porcelain, mosaic, and travertine tiling.

Materials

MB Tiling works across the full range of tiling materials, giving customers real flexibility to achieve the finish they want:

• Ceramic — a versatile, everyday option for most rooms
• Porcelain — including wood-look styles, durable and low maintenance
• Mosaic — ideal for detailed, decorative work
• Travertine — a soft, natural-toned stone for a premium finish
• Natural stone — for a genuinely organic, textured look
• Slate — hard-wearing and distinctive, particularly popular for flooring

Areas Covered

MB Tiling is based in West End, Southampton, and covers a notably wide area of the south of England — extending as far as Bournemouth to the west, Chichester to the east, and up through Winchester, Basingstoke, and Andover. It’s one of the broadest coverage areas of any tiling business operating out of Southampton, giving homeowners and businesses across a large stretch of Hampshire and neighbouring counties access to the same standard of work.
