Events by Tilers Tools

The Precision Tiling & Machinery Expo is the premier regional showcase for the latest innovations in floor and wall tiling technology. Set in the heart of Warrington, this event brings together the most influential manufacturers and the most skilled tradespeople in the UK. The expo is designed to be a comprehensive look at the future of the trade, moving away from static displays and toward interactive, real-world applications. Visitors will find a massive "Demo Zone" where the latest Raimondi Pikus and Zoe wet saws will be in constant operation, allowing you to see the speed and precision of these machines firsthand. In addition to machinery, the event features a heavy emphasis on chemical solutions and adhesives. Representatives from leading brands like Kelmore and FUGA-PAVE will be on-site to discuss moisture management, substrate preparation, and the science of modern bonding. This year, we are introducing a "Business Growth" seminar track, where experts will discuss how to transition from standard domestic tiling into high-margin commercial and specialized architectural projects. We understand that the industry is changing rapidly; from new safety regulations regarding silica dust to the rise of eco-friendly grouts, staying informed is no longer optional. The expo serves as a central hub for sharing knowledge, discovering new products that increase efficiency, and networking with peers who face the same challenges on-site. Whether you are a sole trader looking to upgrade your toolkit or a large contracting firm scouting new machinery, this expo offers the insights and connections necessary to thrive in 2026. Entry includes access to all live demos, seminars, and a goody bag containing samples of the latest tiling accessories.

As the landscaping and interior tiling industries evolve, the demand for large-format porcelain and specialized outdoor paving has skyrocketed. This full-day intensive workshop, hosted at the premier Tilers Tools facility in Warrington, is designed to take professionals from "competent" to "expert" in the handling of modern materials. The session begins with a deep dive into the technical properties of 20mm porcelain, explaining why traditional bedding methods often lead to failure. Attendees will receive hands-on training with the renowned FUGA-PAVE ABC system, learning how to create a chemically bonded bed that ensures longevity and prevents "blown" slabs. In the second half of the day, the focus shifts to precision finishing. Our expert instructors will demonstrate the use of high-performance wet saws and professional-grade bridge saws, showing you how to achieve factory-level mitered edges and intricate cuts without chipping. We will also cover the application of hybrid grouts and flowable mortars, which are essential for high-end residential and commercial projects. Participants will have the opportunity to test-drive the latest Raimondi and Golz machinery, gaining confidence in tool maintenance and blade selection. Beyond the technical skills, the workshop includes a dedicated segment on project estimation and managing client expectations when working with premium materials. This is more than just a training day; it is an investment in your business’s reputation for quality and durability. Join us for a day of practical learning, industry networking, and technical mastery that will set your work apart in a competitive market. Lunch and refreshments are provided, along with a certification of completion.
