A wall and floor tiler from the city outskirts is celebrating a landmark achievement of being the top rated nationwide.

Gavin Wright was informed by online directory Yell that he is the top-rated tiler on their site and has the most five-star reviews across the entirety of the UK.

Gavin, 53, started tiling in 1989 and is entirely self-taught.

"Finding out I was the highest rated in the country - it was unbelievable," he explained.

"Being the top UK-wide is pretty impressive I think."

Gavin has been self employed for more than 20 years and was a one-man operation before welcoming his 17-year-old son Leo into the business in February to learn the trade.

"Reviews inspire him as well. It's a testament to our hard work."
