Questions

Finding your way around

What is the difference between Blog and Advice?

The blog is everything, newest first. Advice is the narrower set of practical how-to and what-to-choose pieces, 128 of them.

I want to see finished rooms, not read about them.

That is what Inspiration is for: galleries grouped by range, so you can see what carpet, timber, vinyl and the rest actually look like laid. The Video Library covers the same ground in short videos.

Can I get samples of anything I see here?

Yes, through a store. Your local one can put samples in your hands, or the in-home service brings them to you so you can see them in the light of the actual room.

How do I find articles about one material?

Every article is filed by category, and the blog lists those categories so you can jump straight to carpet, timber, vinyl, tiles or window coverings.

Where do I go when I have decided?

A free measure and quote. Someone local measures the rooms and gives you a written price, with no obligation to go ahead.

Next step

Seen something you like?

Book a measure and quote and someone local will work out quantities and give you a written price.
