Flooring we supply

Home / Flooring

Four floors, one simple way to choose.

We supply carpets, LVT, laminate and vinyl — and that's it. We know these four inside out, so the advice you get is straight and honest.

Best of all, you don't have to guess from a shop shelf. We come to you, measure for free and bring the samples, so you can see them in your own rooms and your own light before you decide.

Carpets

TwistLoopSaxony

Soft, warm and quiet underfoot — still the favourite for bedrooms and living rooms. We bring the carpet samples to your home so you can see the colour and feel the pile where it will actually live.

From hard-wearing options for stairs and landings to deeper piles for comfort, we'll help you match the carpet to how each room is used. Free measuring, no obligation.

LVT

Wood effectStone effectShrugs off spills

Luxury vinyl tile that looks like wood or stone, and shrugs off spills. It's a practical choice for kitchens, hallways and busy family rooms — the look of a natural floor, made for real life.

Bring the look home: we'll lay the sample boards next to your skirting, units and light so you can see exactly how it sits before committing.

Laminate

ToughHard-wearingGreat value

Tough, hard-wearing and great value for busy family rooms and halls. Laminate takes the knocks of everyday family life and keeps looking smart.

We'll talk you through the finishes and make sure the floor you choose suits the way each room is actually used.

Vinyl

Sheet vinylKitchens & bathroomsEasy to keep clean

Practical sheet vinyl for kitchens, bathrooms and utility rooms. Easy to keep clean, simple to live with and ready for the hard-working rooms in your home.

Because it comes as a sheet, there are fewer seams in the room — we'll show you the options when we visit.

Choosing between them

Not sure which floor suits your room? Here's how we'd think about it.

How is the room used?

Busy halls and family rooms ask a lot of a floor — that's where hard-wearing options like laminate, LVT and vinyl earn their keep. Rooms where you want warmth and quiet, like bedrooms, tend to suit carpet.

What's the light like?

Every floor looks different under your own bulbs and through your own windows. That's exactly why we bring the samples to you instead of asking you to imagine them.

What's your budget?

Tell us roughly what you'd like to spend when we visit and we'll show you the options that fit. Measuring is free and there's no obligation to buy.

Still unsure?

That's normal — most people narrow it down once they see two or three samples side by side in the room itself. Book a free home measure and we'll bring a spread of options across all four floor types.

What's the best floor for each room?

Short answers first — detail when we visit.

What's the best flooring for a bedroom?

Usually carpet: warm, quiet and comfortable first thing in the morning. Laminate works too if you prefer a hard floor with rugs.

What's the best flooring for stairs and landings?

A hard-wearing carpet in a practical pile — it grips underfoot and keeps stair noise down. We'll advise on pile for your stairs.

What's the best flooring for a kitchen?

LVT or sheet vinyl: both cope with spills and wipe clean. Standard laminate can swell if water sits on it, and carpet doesn't suit wet rooms.

What's the best flooring for a bathroom?

Sheet vinyl or LVT — both handle water and humidity far better than laminate or carpet.

What's the best flooring for a hallway?

Something hard-wearing: LVT, vinyl or laminate for the traffic, with carpet a cosier but higher-upkeep choice. We'll match it to how busy your hall is.
