Vinyl Flooring
Our vinyl flooring solutions cater to both residential and commercial properties, offering water-resistant and easy-to-maintain surfaces. Ideal for kitchens, bathrooms, and commercial wet rooms, we use advanced welding techniques to create watertight seams. The materials versatility allows for custom designs while maintaining durability. Professional fitting ensures a polished appearance, with options to match diverse interior styles and functional requirements.

Luxury vinyl tiles (LVT) provide a stylish, hardwearing alternative to traditional flooring. We offer a range of designs mimicking wood or stone, suitable for homes and businesses. LVTs resilience makes it ideal for high-traffic areas, with minimal maintenance required. Our team ensures precise installation, creating a natural aesthetic that complements modern interiors while delivering long-lasting performance.

Specialising in commercial environments, we provide robust flooring solutions for offices, hotels, and public spaces. Our contract-grade carpets, vinyl, and LVT meet industry standards for safety and durability. Using F. Ball and Co. adhesives, we ensure secure installations that withstand heavy use. Services include watertight vinyl for wet rooms and custom carpet tiling, all delivered by a team experienced in minimising disruption during business hours.
Binding Service
Our binding service repurposes leftover carpet offcuts into functional items like rugs and stair runners. Available in wool yarns or fabric tape, we offer matching or contrasting finishes to enhance aesthetics. This eco-friendly option reduces waste while adding value to unused materials.
