Services
Carpets
We offer an extensive range of quality carpets and carpet tiles suitable for all budgets and rooms. Our selection includes man-made fibres, natural wool, and eco-friendly options like sisal and seagrass. Our team provides expert advice on pile types and underlay recommendations to ensure optimal comfort and durability. Home visits are available within 25 miles of Shefford for convenient selection.
Laminate Flooring
Our laminate flooring collection combines realistic wood aesthetics with enhanced durability. Featuring high-density boards with protective melamine layers, these cost-effective solutions resist scratches and dents better than natural wood. We provide comprehensive guidance on thickness options and fitting requirements, with guarantees varying by product quality and usage conditions.
Vinyl Flooring
We supply premium vinyl flooring and luxury vinyl tiles (LVTs) ideal for kitchens, bathrooms, and high-traffic areas. Available in wood plank and stone-effect designs, these water-resistant options offer warmth underfoot and easy maintenance. Our fitting team ensures professional installation, with product ranges from leading brands like Karndean and Moduleo.
Carpet Fitting
Our qualified fitting team provides professional installation for all purchased flooring products. With over 60 years combined experience, we handle measurement verification, subfloor preparation, and precise fitting. We offer home visits for accurate measurements and ensure seamless transitions between rooms, including special attention to alcoves and thresholds.
Bespoke Rugs
Through our partnership with Alternative Flooring, we offer made-to-measure rugs in any carpet design from our showroom. The 'Make Me A Rug' online tool allows customisation of colours, borders, and edging. We also provide ready-made rug options and expert advice on size selection for optimal room proportions.

Report
We have used CWC for about 15 years and ALWAYS got A1 advice, service and quality flooring. Never bother asking anyone else for quotes.
