Carpets

Yes, we offer free professional measuring and detailed quotations. This allows us to assess the space properly and ensure the most suitable products and accurate pricing before any work begins.

Yes, all fitting is carried out by our own fully qualified in-house fitters. This helps ensure consistent standards, clear communication and a high-quality finish on every installation.

In most cases, carpet fitting can be completed within a day. The exact time will depend on the size of the room, the type of carpet being fitted and whether any preparation work is required. This can be confirmed during measuring so you know what to expect on the day.

We recommend that smaller items and personal belongings are removed where possible before fitting. Larger furniture can often be moved as part of the installation, which can be discussed during your measuring appointment.

Yes, old carpet and underlay can be uplifted and removed as part of the fitting process. This will be discussed at the time of measuring so everything is clear before work begins.

In some cases, carpet can be fitted over existing flooring if the surface is suitable. This will be assessed during measuring to ensure the correct preparation and a good final finish.

Cut pile or twist pile carpets are generally the best choice for homes with pets. These carpets are made from individual fibres, meaning that if a pet tugs or scratches at the surface, it’s far less noticeable.

Loop pile carpets, by contrast, use continuous threads that run the length or width of the carpet. If one of these loops is caught or pulled, it can unravel and affect the appearance of the surrounding area.

If you have pets, we’re always happy to recommend hard-wearing carpet options that balance comfort, durability and ease of maintenance. We can also advise on underlay and pile density to help extend the life of your carpet.

For homes with young children, a stain-resistant, bleach-cleanable polypropylene carpet is often the most practical choice. It makes cleaning up spills, dirt and everyday mess much easier compared to natural fibres such as wool.

A tighter pile carpet is also recommended, as it is more durable and better at maintaining its appearance in busy family areas. With higher levels of foot traffic, tighter piles tend to withstand wear more effectively than thicker, softer carpets.

We’re happy to advise on family-friendly carpet options that balance comfort, durability and ease of maintenance.

Polypropylene carpets are an excellent choice for dealing with spillages and stains. Many options are stain-resistant and bleach-cleanable, making them far easier to clean if accidents occur.

Compared to wool carpets, polypropylene is less absorbent, meaning spills sit on the surface for longer and are easier to remove. This makes it a practical option for busy households, kitchens, dining areas and family spaces.

We’re happy to recommend suitable stain-resistant carpets based on how each room is used.

We recommend a durable, tighter pile carpet for stairs, as this area experiences the highest level of foot traffic in the home. A tighter, thinner pile helps the carpet maintain its shape and appearance over time.

Very thick or soft carpets can flatten more quickly on stairs, while less-used areas retain their original texture. This can create an uneven look that makes the carpet appear worn in places.

We’re always happy to advise on suitable stair carpets that balance durability, comfort and appearance.

Most carpet types are suitable for bedrooms, as these spaces tend to experience lower levels of foot traffic.

For warmth and comfort, many people choose a thick saxony carpet, which offers a soft, luxurious feel underfoot and helps create a cosy, inviting atmosphere. Saxony carpets are particularly popular in bedrooms for this reason.

Wool and loop pile carpets can also be used in bedrooms, but they are often less favoured where comfort is the main priority, as they tend to feel firmer underfoot.

We’re always happy to help you choose a bedroom carpet that suits your comfort preferences and budget.

The best underlay depends on how the room is used and the level of comfort or durability required.

For high-traffic areas such as stairs, hallways and landings, a rubber underlay is often the best option. Made from recycled rubber, it has a dense structure that provides excellent durability, impact resistance and noise reduction.

For rooms where comfort and warmth are a priority, such as bedrooms and living rooms, a PU (polyurethane) foam underlay is a popular choice. Made from recycled materials and available in thicknesses of 8mm, 10mm and 12mm, it offers a softer, more cushioned feel underfoot.

Our team can advise on the most suitable underlay based on the room, carpet type and how the space is used.

To measure your room, follow these simple steps:

• Measure the longest length and widest width of the room

• Round each measurement up to the nearest 5cm

• Add 10cm to both measurements to allow for fitting tolerance

• Include any doorways, alcoves or recesses in your measurements

If you’re unsure, don’t worry — we offer free professional measuring and will always confirm final measurements before installation.
