Services
Twist Pile Carpets
Twist pile carpets offer exceptional durability for high-traffic areas. Their tightly twisted fibres resist crushing and staining, making them ideal for families with children or pets. Available in over 30 colours, these bleach-cleanable carpets combine practicality with modern aesthetics. Our experts advise on optimal pile weight and yarn quality to ensure long-term performance, with widths selected to minimise wastage during installation.
Loop Pile Carpets
Loop pile carpets provide resilience in busy spaces through their uncut tufts. The construction prevents dirt penetration while maintaining shape in high-use zones. We recommend against this type for homes with pets due to claw snag risks. Our selection includes varied fibre blends and patterns, with professional guidance on pile density and backing quality to prevent runs or fraying over time.
Polypropylene Carpets
Polypropylene carpets deliver modern, low-maintenance flooring with inherent stain resistance. The solution-dyed fibres retain colour integrity even when cleaned with bleach, while mothproof properties suit allergy sufferers. Our range balances affordability with durability, offering 30 contemporary shades and textures that withstand heavy use without compromising aesthetic appeal.
Velvet Carpets
Velvet carpets combine elegance with longevity for discerning clients. Our premium Wilton-woven options feature dense, short piles that maintain their appearance for generations when properly maintained. We provide specialist advice on pile direction, underlay selection, and spill management to preserve their sophisticated finish in both traditional and contemporary settings.
Vinyl Flooring
Vinyl flooring offers versatile, water-resistant solutions for residential and commercial spaces. Our collection includes realistic wood and stone patterns with enhanced durability. Available in sheet or tile formats, these floors withstand heavy foot traffic while maintaining aesthetic appeal. We provide expert installation guidance to ensure optimal subfloor preparation and seam placement.
Questions
What carpet types do you specialise in?
We specialise in twist pile, loop pile, polypropylene, and velvet carpets, alongside vinyl flooring options. Each type offers distinct benefits for different usage scenarios and aesthetic preferences.
Do you offer home consultations?
Yes, we provide free home visits for measurements and consultations. Our team advises on suitable carpet types based on room usage, decor, and lifestyle requirements.
How do you ensure quality installation?
Our experienced fitters use professional techniques to minimise seams and prevent pile reversal. We plan installations carefully to maximise material efficiency and longevity.
Are your carpets stain-resistant?
Polypropylene carpets offer inherent stain resistance. We also apply Intec stain treatment for enhanced protection on wool and nylon carpets, particularly recommended for light-coloured options.
What underlay do you recommend?
We recommend hard rubber/wool felt underlay for high-traffic areas. This commercial-grade option provides superior durability compared to softer alternatives, significantly extending carpet lifespan.
Can you match existing carpet patterns?
We can match patterns and colours from existing installations where possible. For critical colour matching, we advise ordering all material from the same dye batch to ensure consistency.
