Carpets
We have a full range of carpets to suit every need and price. From plains to textures, patterns and stripes, we can cater for your every need.
From pure wool carpets to textured Berbers, hardwearing Twists to woven Wiltons, traditional Axminsters and sumptuous Saxonys we have an incredible choice.
Professional advice, measuring and fitting is
vital to ensure the right result and we have the perfect team to handle this.
You let us know your rooms and budget and we can help select the carpet that best suits your needs. You should take the following in to account.
- Suitability - how much wear will your carpet receive? The hall, stairs and landing will need a heavier wearing carpet than the bedroom.
- Longevity - how long do you reasonably expect your carpet to last?
- Budget - how much can you afford? Don't forget the cost of fitting and underlay.
- Decoration - are you matching the carpet to a particular scheme and what are your future decorating plans? Choose your carpet first and install it last.
