From laying tiles to leading the industry
Twenty five years in the trade. A studio built for designers.
Up Spec started on the tools and in the trade, grew through our original tile shop, and became a design studio made with designers and architects in mind. It's a comfortable starting point for project specification. Come in with your clients, use the space at no cost, and leave with samples in hand.
Our product is tile and stone, but what we really offer is support: a team you can call when you need something, from early selections right through to site.

From Matt, founder
"We consider ourselves in the hospitality industry more than the sales industry. It's more about what you need, rather than what we have."
Matt · Up Spec Tiles & Surfaces
"It's not about sales, it's about genuine support, and creating those real relationships that can enable us to be more than salespeople, but problem solvers that can be called on whenever needed."
