About JC Venables

JC Venables was founded by husband and wife, John and Audrey Venables in 1974. They first started selling vinyl floor tiles and then shortly followed by ceramic tiles, where the business then started to grow. In the early 90’s they branched out into selling imported ceramic tiles from Italy and Spain.

John sadly passed away in 2021 but his legacy and dedication to the company continues to shine through with the work that his sons, grandchildren and dedicated team of staff put into running the business day to day.

Large showroom, massive amount of stock. Staff were attentive and helpful. I haven't lived in Clacton long and found this shop by chance after not being able to match kitchen tiles anywhere else locally. Highly reccomend, they even helped me to carry tiles to my car. Shop has its own small car park.
