Hard Flooring Report

There are two basic types of wood flooring to choose from, solid or engineered. The "engineered" product has a surface of premium hardwood bonded to a laminated base. This construction counteracts wood's tendency to shrink and expand and makes it easier to lay. Solid products are available in planks, strips or parquet.

Estimating Report

Once you have decided upon the carpet you like you are well advised to have it professionally fitted. Before this you should obtain an estimate of the cost. An estimate is more accurate when we are able to visit the location to measure the area and assess the situation. Remember, the total cost of any job is what matters.

Carpet and vinyl ordered and fitted. Great job done, reasonable pricing and you can pay by interest free credit - no brainer! Plus the staff are all really lovely and helpful and you can browse the showroom to find what you are looking for.
