It might be worth checking eBay?

I've done just that mate and sent emails to the seller's enquiring if the tiles were backed with adhesive (which I want to avoid). Thus far, no response. Still, it's early days :)

It might be worth widening your searches to model railway suppliers.

Great idea!!  8) I sometimes amaze myself as my mind obfuscates the obvious! :)

 Thanks Ultravanillasmurf  8). I'll get to it right now.

Wickes via ebay.

24 30×30cm for 25 GBP +pnp

Not sure if this is too pricey, not having ever bought cork tiles before!

This seller is one of the I sellers I attempted to contact via ebay and was told they have an adhesive backing.

This seller's instructions say you need adhesive.

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Natural-Cork-Tiles-for-Floor-or-Wall-300mm-x-300mm-4mm-Thick/174225625971?_trkparms=aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.SEED%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D225114%26meid%3Dd273e95f0c5a4de6afe9461f050b22c1%26pid%3D100290%26rk%3D2%26rkt%3D4%26mehot%3Dpp%26sd%3D273895979597%26itm%3D174225625971%26pmt%3D0%26noa%3D1%26pg%3D2060778&_trksid=p2060778.c100290.m3507

 Going to order some myself.

Brilliant- thanks very much for pointing the seller out to me- appreciated :) I think my google,Amazon and ebay foo is all out of joint these days!!  o_o lol

I've put in an order for 16. I think that's all I'll need as it's mainly Adobe type building that I'm going to be constructing for the Sudan/Middle East/NWF.

Glad to help. I've got some 15mm armies for the HOTT variant Hordes of the Empire so I'm planning to use the tiles for adobe buildings too, as well as Rorke's drift.
