When you walk into a freshly tiled kitchen or step onto a perfectly finished bathroom floor, it’s easy to admire the end result. What you might not see is the craftsmanship, care, and family values that brought it to life. For BH Wall & Floor Tiling, that behind-the-scenes dedication is exactly what sets them apart.
BH Wall & Floor Tiling is a small, family-run business headed by local tiler Brock Hobday, who has built a reputation for precision, reliability, and genuine pride in his work. With a decade in the industry, Brock has seen just about everything a tiling job can throw at you, and he brings that experience, and a hands-on approach, to every project.
From the moment you get in touch, you’re dealing directly with the people who will be in your home or business, tiles in hand, making the transformation happen.
As Brock explained, “I love being local and working local – I’m not interested in being the biggest or the richest, just the best and I get a real buzz from stepping back and seeing how good the finished product looks for my customers.”
BH Wall & Floor Tiling specialises in all aspects of wall and floor tiling: indoors, outdoors, residential, and commercial. Whether it’s a brand-new bathroom, a modern kitchen splashback, a pool, a renovation, or a tiling repair, Brock and his small team take the time to ensure every tile is perfectly laid and every finish is up to their own high standards. And because they’re a close-knit crew, communication is clear, quick, and friendly from start to finish.
“I’ve been a tiler for 10 years now, but I’ve been running my own business for about 12 months, it’s been great. We’re very busy and time management has definitely been one of my biggest learning curves, but my family keep me motivated and I love what I do,” said Brock.
Their size is one of their biggest strengths. Rather than juggling dozens of jobs at once, BH focuses on doing things properly. They take on each project with the mindset that they’re creating something that should last, something the client will be proud to see every day. That level of care is no accident.
“I think that’s been my motto from the get-go – start small and work hard – I feel like, if you’re running your own business, and you’re not exhausted at the end of every day, you’re probably doing it wrong.”
Brock’s team now consists of himself, an apprentice, a labourer, his wife Kim doing all the behind the scenes work and, Brock is very excited to announce that next year they will have another builder / tiler on board to help out.
It’s a business built on values that go beyond profit: workmanship, honesty, and genuine community spirit.
“Tiling is a very unique trade, there’s a real knack to it,” Brock said. “For me it’s all about keeping the quality high and really sticking to those key values of precision and attention to detail.”
It also means that when you hire BH Wall & Floor Tiling, you’re supporting a local family working hard to bring quality tradesmanship to the region. Brock grew up in the area and is passionate about creating a business that the community can rely on and feel good about recommending.
And while they’re small, they’re not limited. BH Wall & Floor Tiling services Inverell and the surrounding areas and takes on everything from private homes to commercial spaces. They’re also happy to offer advice on layout, tile choice, and the most practical solutions for different rooms, something first-time renovators especially appreciate.
If you’re planning a renovation, building a new home, or simply want to refresh a tired space, BH Wall & Floor Tiling makes the process straightforward and stress-free. Brock offers free, no-obligation quotes and is always happy to talk through ideas before a project begins.
At a time when it’s becoming harder to find trades who mix skill with genuine service, BH Wall & Floor Tiling is a great example of a small local business doing things the right way, with pride, professionalism, and a personal touch.
