Frequently Asked Questions

What type of carpet is best for my home?

The best carpet depends on the room, the amount of foot traffic and your preferred look and feel. Hard-wearing carpets are ideal for busy areas such as hallways and stairs, while softer carpets can provide extra comfort in bedrooms and living rooms.

What is the most hard-wearing type of carpet?

Wool blends and high-quality synthetic carpets such as polypropylene and nylon are popular choices for busy areas. The carpet construction, pile density and suitability rating should also be considered when choosing flooring for high-traffic spaces.

Do I need underlay with a new carpet?

In most cases, yes. Good-quality underlay can improve comfort, provide additional insulation, reduce noise and help extend the life of your carpet. We can recommend the most suitable underlay for your chosen carpet.

How long should a good-quality carpet last?

A good-quality carpet can typically last between 7 and 15 years, depending on the carpet type, level of foot traffic and how well it is maintained. Choosing the correct carpet for the room can significantly improve its lifespan.

Can you fit carpet on stairs and landings?

Yes, we supply and professionally install carpets for stairs, landings and hallways. As these are generally high-traffic areas, we can recommend durable carpets designed to cope with regular use.

Can carpet be used with underfloor heating?

Yes, many carpets can be used with underfloor heating when combined with a suitable underlay. It is important to consider the combined tog rating of the carpet and underlay so heat can transfer effectively into the room.

How do I measure a room for flooring?

Measure the maximum width and length of the room, including doorways, alcoves and recessed areas. Carpet widths, joins and pattern matching can affect the amount required, so professional measuring is recommended for the most accurate result.

Do you remove and dispose of old flooring?

Old flooring and underlay can usually be removed as part of the preparation for your new flooring. Speak to our team when arranging your installation and we can advise you on the removal and disposal options available.

How should I prepare my room before new floor fitting?

Where possible, smaller furniture and personal belongings should be removed before fitting. The existing floor may also need preparation to ensure it is clean, level and suitable for the new carpet and underlay.

How do I choose the right flooring colour?

Consider the size of the room, natural light, existing décor and how the space is used. Neutral shades provide a timeless appearance, while darker or patterned flooring can be practical for busier areas.
