About Us – H&E Smith has been a specialist tile manufacturer & distributor in England, UK since 1926.
Originally established as Smith & Warrilow by William Henry Smith and his partner Ernest Warrilow. They specialised in the manufacture of refractory glazed fireplace tiles. Later, the manufacture of fine quality traditionally crafted English ceramic wall tiles was introduced.
About Us – The company has a long reputation of supplying specialist ceramics to London underground, where reliable production schedules, quality and precision manufacture have been paramount to maintaining the efficient running of the service.
Our experience with the bespoke manufacture of ceramics has greatly enhanced our ability to be able to work closely and effectively with interior designers and specifiers.
Our Period Embossed Victorian Tiles and Eco-Glazed Brick Slips are now our most popular ranges produced at our UK factory.
This has culminated in our large collection of clients that we now supply throughout the World, both in the fashion and restaurant sectors. These include Ben Sherman, Ted Baker, Jamie Oliver and Byron.

Our knowledge of the market has enabled us to expand our product offer, incorporating the latest inkjet digital technology, innovative new materials in extra large formats, ultrathin porcelain panels and vast colour palettes, all available to the client in one easy process.
As designers and creators of ceramics, we are passionate to explore new horizons with materials, colours and textures. These are reflected in our comprehensive product ranges.
