Missing tile from Villa help please

Does anyone know where I can get one of these tiles that is missing from our external wall.

We are a High View homes built villa. I've emailed the builder a number of times but not had a response. A few have come off over the years and he had replaced but I don't know where he got them from.

Thanks

Finch

It's not clear exactly what tiles that you are talking about - why not post a picture of a section where a tile is missing?

And could I suggest that you ring your builder and actually talk to him? Or even call in and speak to him face to face? - You're likely to get a much better response!

I'm guessing it's where that gap is in the wall, extreme right/halfway down the picture, level with the trellis work....
Could always pull another one off and take it round all the builders merchants for a match ....

Oh! - I thought that was a meter box or summat!
More like stone cladding then...
I could do with a couple of chunks of that!

Yeah, great idea, don't know why I didn't think of that

You can get this yellow stone cladding from the company who makes it in all shapes & sizes to order. At the main Gonyeli roundabout in Lefkosa you turn right towards Guzelyurt & then it is a right turning along that road. I will look for their card later but in the meantime it is a good suggestion to try builders merchants with a sample although it would be cheaper to get it straight from the factory.
Or maybe you could set up a Kibkom outing as Keith also wants some?

We needed some a while ago. No Yapi markets I tried in Alsancak area had them. Went to a manufacturer. Right at main roundabout in Lefkosa,carry on about 4 or 5 kilometres,come to a small roundabout just before GAU,take first exit,follow road to T junction,turn left,carry on & it is on your left. Not sure how far after the left turn. They have many sizes.

is it a sand stone cladding tile if so if one has come off you can bet there are more loose we could check for you and see I might even have one to match

Thanks for the info regarding the manufacturer, I'll go and visit next time I'm in Cyprus.

Over the years quite a few have come off, so if I can find the right tile then I'll be getting a few to stock up.
