Grouville Courtyard Tiling
A bare, neglected back courtyard relaid with large-format porcelain tiles — a quick-turnaround project that gave the owners a clean, usable outdoor space again.
📍 Chemin des Maltieres, Grouville, Jersey
Quick-turn courtyard tiling project in Grouville, completed early April 2026. Strip-out, sub-base prep and full porcelain tile install over a couple of weeks.
The journey
Before, during & after
Each stage of the project, told in pictures and words.
-
1 Stage 1 of 3
Before
The courtyard had been left to fend for itself — patchy lawn, scrubby ground and a retaining wall in need of attention. The brief was simple: a clean, hard-wearing surface the owners could put furniture on and actually use.

2 Stage 2 of 3
During
We stripped the surface back, prepared a solid sub-base and laid the porcelain tiles to a consistent fall for drainage. The wall was cleaned up and the courtyard edges tidied as part of the same visit.

3 Stage 3 of 3
After
A clean, level, low-maintenance courtyard finished in light grey porcelain. Ready for furniture, easy to keep clean and a far better use of the space.
