Simon Lane Plumbing review
Ranked 2 of 4 in Tilers in Telford
Best for: bathroom and kitchen tiling with plumbing in one visit
Sole Trader
Broseley · Service area: Telford, Broseley, Shropshire
Simon Lane Plumbing in short
Simon Lane Plumbing is a Broseley sole trader pairing wall and floor tiling with plumbing, aimed at bathrooms, kitchens and wet rooms. The site lists ceramic, porcelain, slate, marble and natural stone, alongside full bathroom installation [1] [2]. A 35-year claim sits on the homepage, with free written quotations on request. Our view: this reads as a one-visit answer to a bathroom or kitchen where pipes as well as tiles need attention. Contact runs by phone, email and form on weekday office hours [1] [3].
The customer evidence is spotless though small: 5 out of 5 across the Google reviews on the record, matched on the Birdeye profile [5] [6]. That is a thin base for strong conclusions, though every review held is positive. The website itself is a straightforward trade site with services, contact routes and hours set out plainly. What counts against the firm at this stage is paperwork rather than feedback: no published prices, no insurance detail and no scheme membership [1].
The record shows tiling across bathrooms, kitchens and wet rooms from a Broseley base serving Telford and Shropshire, with phone, email and form contact on weekday hours [1] [3]. No limited company appears at Companies House, which fits a sole trader rather than signalling anything missing [4]. Free written quotations are offered on request, though no prices, rates or VAT position are published [1].
Our view is that Simon Lane Plumbing suits a homeowner who wants tiling and plumbing handled together without coordinating two trades. The full-marks customer record is encouraging but short, and the file is thin on formal proof, with industry qualifications unfindable on the registers checked and no stated cover. For a bathroom or kitchen where one tradesperson doing both sides appeals, this is a credible second in the round.
Our verdict
Our judgement: Simon Lane Plumbing suits you if you want a Broseley-based tradesperson who can tile a bathroom or kitchen and handle the plumbing behind it, with a long trading claim and a spotless if small review record [1] [2] [5]. What counts against it is paperwork: no published prices, insurance details or scheme membership [1].

Questions about Simon Lane Plumbing
Is Simon Lane Plumbing any good?
For a bathroom or kitchen needing tiling plus plumbing, the shape is right: wall and floor tiling across five named materials with full bathroom installation behind it [1] [2]. The customer record is spotless, with full marks on Google matched on Birdeye [5] [6]. The gaps are paperwork, with no prices, insurance detail or scheme membership published [1]. Read the full review, then request the free written quotation.
Is Simon Lane Plumbing registered with a trade scheme?
No mandatory registration applies to tilers. No scheme membership is claimed on the website or the platforms checked, so industry qualifications can't be sourced [1] [2]. The site does claim a long trading history and sets out its services plainly [1]. Ask Simon Lane for any training detail with your quote, and check anything claimed against the issuing source.
What does Simon Lane Plumbing charge?
It publishes no prices, rates or VAT position; free written quotations are offered on request [1]. Send photographs, measurements and your tile choice for a fixed quote. Ask for labour, materials and preparation broken out separately in writing. Agree who supplies the tiles, the adhesive and grout before work is priced.
Where does Simon Lane Plumbing work?
The firm works from Broseley, serving Telford and Shropshire [1] [3]. Telford homes sit inside that patch. Send your postcode with the job details to confirm you are covered before you book. Jobs further afield are worth asking about, since the site names Shropshire-wide service [1]. Contact runs by phone, email and form on weekday office hours [3].
How is Simon Lane Plumbing ranked?

The full table shows all four firms in score order.
What do customers say about Simon Lane Plumbing?
Customers rate it 5 out of 5 on Google, matched on its Birdeye profile, both seen 5 September 2026 [5] [6]. That is a spotless but small base for strong conclusions. Read each review in full, note the job types described, and ask Simon Lane for a recent local reference you could verify. Ask for photographs of finished rooms like yours.
How does Simon Lane Plumbing compare with the other Telford tilers?
It sits second of the four, below HQ Tiling's award-backed domestic offer and above ADG Tiling for small home jobs and Rite Tile for contract site work. The difference is breadth: tiling plus plumbing under one roof, which neither domestic rival provides. Expect a simpler website and thinner paperwork than the leader, and agree price and cover in writing.
Can Simon Lane Plumbing handle the plumbing behind my new tiles?
Yes, that is the point of the offer: bathroom installation and plumbing sit alongside wall and floor tiling on the site [1] [2]. One firm taking both sides suits a refit where pipes move as well as tiles. Send the full job, plumbing and tiling together, with your first enquiry. Agree which parts of each side are included before work starts.
