Trading Statement

RNS Number:4863H
Pilkington's Tiles Group PLC
14 February 2003

                          Pilkington's Tiles Group PLC

                               Trading Statement


The Board of Pilkington's Tiles believes that the programme of actions to
improve the operating performance of each of the Group's individual businesses,
which was announced in the interim statement issued in November 2002, will
achieve its objectives in the stated timescales.

However, the difficult trading conditions noted at that time have continued, and
consequently the pre tax losses for the year ended 31 March 2003 are likely to
be significantly greater than market expectations.

Detailed discussions are now taking place regarding the sale of our land in
Poole. These discussions are ongoing and we will update shareholders upon
developments if they reach a contractual stage.

With regard to the Group's final salary defined benefit pension scheme, as
previously stated we have requested a detailed review of the current position of
the fund. The outcome of this review and the Board's subsequent plans in respect
of the likely fund deficit, are still under detailed consideration. A further
announcement regarding this matter will be made as soon as practicable.
