About Tilers

A tiler fits ceramic, porcelain, and stone tiles on walls and floors - in bathrooms, kitchens, hallways, and utility rooms.

Always check the adhesive, grout, and silicone used are rated for wet areas in bathrooms and shower enclosures.

About Old Aberdeen

Old Aberdeen is one of the most historically rich areas in the city, centred on the University of Aberdeen's King's College campus. Until 1891 it was a separate burgh, and that distinct identity is still visible in its cobbled streets, crown-spired chapel, and St Machar's Cathedral.

The High Street of Old Aberdeen is lined with well-preserved granite buildings housing university departments, student accommodation, and independent businesses. The area has a quieter, more scholarly atmosphere than the modern city centre.

Seaton Park borders Old Aberdeen to the north and east, providing riverside parkland. The Cruickshank Botanic Garden, maintained by the university, is a peaceful retreat tucked behind the campus buildings.

Despite its historic character, Old Aberdeen is well connected to the rest of the city by frequent bus routes along King Street and St Machar Drive.

About Aberdeen

Aberdeen is Scotland's third-largest city, built where the rivers Dee and Don meet the North Sea on the north-east coast. Known as the Granite City for the distinctive silvery stone used in much of its architecture, Aberdeen has a visual character unlike any other Scottish city — handsome, austere, and striking in its uniformity.

The city has been shaped by successive waves of industry: fishing and shipbuilding gave way to textiles and paper-making, and from the 1970s the discovery of North Sea oil transformed Aberdeen into the energy capital of Europe. The oil industry brought international investment, a cosmopolitan population, and decades of prosperity.

Union Street, the mile-long granite backbone of the city centre, connects the historic Castlegate to the west end, while the waterfront has been reimagined with new developments along the harbour and beach. The city has two universities — the University of Aberdeen, founded in 1495, and Robert Gordon University — and a large teaching hospital at Foresterhill.

Aberdeen's neighbourhoods are diverse: the leafy western suburbs of Cults, Milltimber, and Bieldside along the Dee; the northern suburbs of Bridge of Don and Dyce near the airport; the inner-city character of Rosemount and Old Aberdeen; and the south-side communities of Torry and Kincorth.

Transport connections include Aberdeen International Airport at Dyce, a main-line railway station with services to Edinburgh, Glasgow, Inverness, and London, and the Aberdeen Western Peripheral Route which has transformed road access around the city.
