Floors
Carpet for the rooms you sit in, LVT and vinyl where it gets wet, laminate and oak where you want wood. Every one measured at the house first and fitted by our own four fitters.
01
Two hundred carpets in the shop, from a £12 polypropylene for a rental to an 80/20 wool twist that lasts twenty years, fitted on a 10 mm underlay with new gripper and door bars. Stairs, landings and the awkward bits included.
From £37 a square metre fitted for a good mid-range twist with underlay and gripper; budget carpets from £25 fitted.
02
Stone and wood-effect tiles and planks with a commercial wear layer, glued to a floor we level first, or rigid click LVT over an underlay. The floor most of our kitchens, halls and bathrooms get, and the one dogs cannot hurt.
From £56 a square metre fitted for a glued commercial-grade LVT, including levelling.
03
Eight and twelve millimetre laminate at AC4, the wear grade that copes with a family, a dog and kitchen chairs, on an underlay with a damp-proof layer. Water-resistant boards for kitchens, and an acoustic underlay upstairs.
From £33 a square metre fitted for an 8 mm AC4 board with underlay; 12 mm water-resistant boards from £41.
04
Engineered oak with a 3 or 4 mm top layer that can be sanded twice, solid oak where the floor allows it, and herringbone for Victorian halls. Brushed, lacquered or oiled, floated on an underlay or glued down, with the doors and thresholds finished properly.
From £75 a square metre fitted for 14 mm engineered oak with underlay.
05
Cushioned vinyl in one sheet off a 4 or 5 metre roll, so there is no seam for water to find: the safest floor for a bathroom, the cheapest good floor for a utility room, and the one landlords ask for. Fitted in an hour or two.
From £26 a square metre fitted.
06
Rhian or Lewis comes to the house with a laser, a moisture meter and a bag of samples, measures every room, checks the subfloor and the doors, and leaves a written quote that lists every piece we would cut. Free, and usually within three working days.
The home measure is free.
Prices
Fitted, with underlay where it needs one, and VAT. The room measurer prices your room exactly.

A good twist on a 10 mm underlay with new gripper and door bars. A 4 by 3.6 m bedroom off a 4 m roll is about £600.
from £56/m²
Commercial wear layer on a floor we have levelled. Rigid click LVT from £48.
from £33/m²
With a damp-proof underlay on concrete or an acoustic one upstairs, packs rounded up.
from £75/m²
A 14 mm board with a 3 mm oak layer. Herringbone and solid oak quoted on the measure.

No seams in most rooms. Remnants in the shop for small bathrooms.
Free
A laser measure, samples in your own light and a written quote that stands for sixty days.
From the measure to the door bars
The home measure, usually within three working days, and a written quote on the day. Stock carpets and vinyl are fitted within the week; ordered carpets, LVT and oak arrive in one to three. On the day the fitters take up the old floor, check and prepare the subfloor, fit the new one, trim any door that needs it and put the furniture back. The old floor goes in the van, and most of it to a carpet recycler in Port Talbot.
Rhian or Lewis measures every room with a laser, checks the floor underneath and every door, leaves the samples with you, and writes the quote before they leave. Usually within three working days.
