Nice looking site but "tile types" and "DIY Advice" links do not work.

Yes, should have mentioned that - these pages aren't finished yet but will be up soon (hopefully) when the tilers get back to me!

Nice, clean looking site layout.
Suggestions from a quick look at the site would be to
- shorten your home page title
- add in a description and that would be a good place to put some of the wording that is now in the title.
- add description to each page
I think that since most of the short 'how to' links toward the page bottom have a paragraph or two on the specific 'how to' and then lots of repeated contact wording on the remainder of the page, you may get hit with some duplicate content penalty by the search engines.
If I were looking to these folks for doing a job for me, I would appreciate the 'how to' pages you have but would also appreciate a bit more info. It would add to my feeling of confidence in the company.

Site looks clean and attractive, and at first glance well designed. Easy to navigate. However, the pages linked to at the bottom of the page are short on original content. I also found a few typos on these pages that spoil the otherwise professional image of the site. i.e. "wil" instead of "will", "Can" instead of "can".

Thanks for all of the feedback guys, I did rush the site a little bit and the plan is to add more original content to all of those pages in due course.
Will also attend to those title/description tags.
Cheers!

The photos on the main page are nice - I like the quad layout, but I would change them on subsequent pages so you can really show the versatility of the company. It might even be good to utilize the unused real estate beneath the photos to list what materials you work with (like the bullet points on the main page).
Grammatically "Eclipse Tiling are a professionally trained tiling partnership" may perhaps be legally correct, but "Eclipse Tiling is a professionally..." flows better since partnership is singular. I'd also like to see you pull out that you can get discounts of up to 40% since that could be a key selling point.
The bottom of page navigation is hard to find, especially since your contact info is right above it and never changes from page to page, meaning casual browsers might overlook it. Since it offers actual free advice, it's a value-add to your visitors.
The layout overall is very clean. I would like to see some weight added to the header, especially since the font on the logo is so delicate.
