After leaving school in 1990 I served a 2 year YTS apprenticeship with a local flooring company. I gained much of my hands on experience and qualifications during this time achieving my NVQ's for Retail sales and customer service levels 1 & 2, this gave me the foundations that I have built on over the following years. Once I completed this apprenticeship I trained for several years to become a qualified carpet/flooring fitter. Wanting to gain experience in all aspects of the flooring trade I then went on to add to my product and customer service knowledge by joining a large retail company where I started as a sales person working my way up to superstore manager.

Vinyl is made from PVC (poly vinyl chloride) which can tackle almost anything you can throw at it. That makes it ideal for areas with high foot traffic such as kitchens and bathrooms. What's more, modern manufacture has made vinyl a sophisticated and affordable alternative to more expensive floor finishes such as stone. Versatile and tough, vinyl is easy to clean and is also moisture resistant; many of the vinyl's we stock come with anti-slip technology, which is vital in bathrooms.

Wool carpets have deep, rich colours and resist soiling well. This traditional natural material is renowned for looking good for a long time, and being easy to clean. Some wool carpets are blended with synthetics for extra hard-wearing qualities. Polypropylene carpets are extremely resistant to staining because the colour goes right through the synthetic fibres while they are being manufactured. These carpets can even be cleaned with a diluted bleach solution, so they're great in places where you might get spills.
