A lot has changed on the outside of our house. We got some masonry people in to redo our front wall, which was falling down. They took the unoriginal bits off, stabilised the lower course, then added a few courses of Bath stone. A lot has changed on the outside of our house.

We chose a porcelain tile as these would be very hardwearing, but most of all, they would be flat (a feature previously missing).
