Services
Domestic Flooring
We specialise in supplying and installing high-quality carpets and flooring for homes across Exeter and the South West. Our expert team offers tailored solutions for living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways, ensuring seamless installations that meet individual preferences and budgets. With over 35 years of experience, we guarantee durable, aesthetically pleasing results that enhance any domestic space.
Commercial Flooring
Our commercial flooring services cater to large-scale projects including offices, schools, and healthcare facilities. We work directly with contractors and councils to deliver durable, compliant flooring solutions that meet strict industry standards. Projects like Exeter Airport and Plymouth Life Centre demonstrate our capability to handle complex installations while maintaining minimal disruption to operations.
Bespoke Rug Binding
We offer an in-house rug binding service to create custom stair runners and area rugs from purchased materials. This service allows clients to repurpose offcuts or full rolls into tailored designs, adding a unique touch to their interiors. Our team ensures precise, durable finishes that match the flooring's aesthetic and functional requirements.
Real Remnants
Our 'Real Remnants' are genuine offcuts sourced directly from manufacturers at significantly reduced prices. Ideal for small spaces like bathrooms or hallways, these remnants offer cost-effective solutions without compromising quality. Unlike other retailers, we ensure transparency by providing authentic materials rather than repackaged low-grade products.
Hygienic Wall Cladding
We supply and install hygienic wall cladding systems from Altro, designed for environments requiring high standards of cleanliness such as hospitals and care homes. These systems provide durable, easy-to-clean surfaces that meet regulatory requirements. Our team ensures precise fitting to maintain both functionality and aesthetic appeal in critical spaces.
