Doctors Surgery Fitted With Carpet Tiles In Wolverhampton

Tuesday, February 16th, 2010

We recently installed carpet tiles in a doctors surgery in Wolverhampton in the West Midlands. The client selected a luxurious, hard wearing carpet tile that would cope with the heavy foot traffic of a busy doctor’s surgery.

The first rooms to be completed were the first floor offices. The next room was probably the most important, the treatment room. In there patients would often be treated for wounds and be providing samples for testing. The floor needed to be easily cleaned just in case there were any spillages during day to day use. There we fitted a strong vinyl floor covering that can be easily cleaned should there be any spillage.

The last areas to be completed were the communal visitor areas like the reception and the waiting room. Then it was the offices and doctors rooms where there would be less movement of people but it was still important to ensure that the carpet would be durable.

Carpet Supplied To Landlord In Nottingham

Sunday, January 17th, 2010

A Landlord in Nottingham wanted to refurbish one of his portfolio of properties he wanted to use his retained handyman to do the fitting but wanted a good quality carpet at an affordable price.

We sent a representative round with a variety of sample books to allow the landlord to decide what they wanted to use. They browsed a number of possibilities before settling on a bleach cleanable 100% polypropelene carpet. This easy care carpet is perfect for landlords & parents of young children. It has a nice warm feel to it, yet it can withstand heavy cleaning should it suffer any spilling or stains.

The carpet was delivered within two days of the order being placed allowing the landlord to turn around his house ready for the next occupants.

TOG Rated Underlay For Underfloor Heating Systems

Thursday, January 7th, 2010

A customer got in contact with us as they were looking in to under floor heating systems as part of the renovation of their home. They had considered moving to a new home but they could not find a property in the area that suited their needs. Instead they decided to stay put and Improve their current home to make it more modern and efficient.

They decided to employ underfloor heating throughout the house and realised that they would need specialised help to make the most of the new system. The carpet and underlay should not be more than 2.5 Tog to ensure the best transfer of heat to the room. We stock a range of underlay to suit underfloor heating systems and are always available for consultation and advice.

The installation usually takes the same amount of time as putting down normal carpet and underlay although it may require more gripper & adhesive. As the location o the underfloor pipes is not always known and using traditional tacking methods could cause a pipe to burst.

Safety Flooring Installed At The RNIB College For The Blind In Loughborough

Monday, May 11th, 2009

Following the installation in the Training rooms at the RNIB College we returned to fit some safety flooring. In the main entrance area they required barrier matting that helps to remove unwanted moisture and particles from the footwear of staff, students and visitors which helps protect the rest of the flooring in the building.

In other communal areas we fitted some non-slip rubber flooring, which on top of the non-slip safety feature is extremely hard wearing. It was also installed on different types of floors that have different acoustics that allow the visually impaired staff and student visitors to navigate around the premises.

Do you have a specific flooring requirement? Need something out of the ordinary? Then give us a call or send us an email we will be glad to assist you in any way that we can.

The main area that required carpeting was in the ground floor of the school library however during the visit they also mentioned that they might be doing some classrooms. We thought it best to provide quotes to complete both the library and the three classrooms. The quote must have been competitive as we were selected to do the flooring installations.

Monday, April 6th, 2009

Commercial Carpet Tiles Fitted In Ashby De La Zouch Office For Insurance Replacement

Wednesday, December 10th, 2008

We recently got a call from a local business that had suffered a minor flood in their premises from a burst pipe, probably due to the recent snap of cold weather. The carpet was ruined and it needed to be replaced immediately. Their insurer had asked them to get some quotes; they wanted hardwearing carpet tiles for the floor of their busy office. 

We visited the site measured the job and provided a competitive quote. After they had made a few phone calls to their insurance company they contacted us and told us we were chosen to do the work. As the job was urgent we went back round that evening and removed the old carpet. We had a small amount of the carpet tiles in the colour they had chosen, which we were able to use to cover half the area that was damaged. This allowed them to continue working the following day while we waited on the remainder of the carpet tiles to be delivered. We had put the carpet tiles on an urgent next day delivery. The remainder of the carpet tiles were delivered to the premises in the afternoon, we arrived as the employees were finishing for the day to finish the job. Ensuring that they had suffered minimum disruption to their normal working hours. 

Have you had an accident? Need your carpet replaced? Need a competitive quote for your insurance company? Then give us a call, we would be more than happy to help. Alternatively you could email us with a contact number and some other information and we can contact you. 

Stairs Landing Carpet Fitted In A House In Burton on Trent

Sunday, December 7th, 2008

We recently had a customer contact us who was looking to replace the carpet on their stairs and landing to match their new décor. They had already completed the redecoration of the hall stairs and landing and were searching for the right carpet for them. We visited them in the evening and brought along an extensive collection of carpet samples to choose from. We spent just over an hour looking at samples of carpet before measuring the area. They had narrowed it down to three of the samples; to help them with the selection we left them with the three samples overnight to give them more time to make the decision. 

They contacted us the following day to tell us which carpet they wanted, a lovely deep pile wool twist luxury carpet. They requested that the carpet was fitted in the evening as they both work and with the impending Christmas holidays they had no free weekends.  The job was finished and tidied well before bed time and the new look of the hall, stairs and landing was finally complete with minimal disruption to the Christmas plans of the customer. 

Are you decorating? Changing the look of one or more of your rooms? Can’t quite find what you are after? Then give us a call, we’ll call round with our samples maybe give you a quote, maybe even give an opinion.
