Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. What is the cheapest type of carpet in the UK?

The cheapest carpets are typically made from polypropylene fibres, which offer excellent stain resistance and durability at a very low cost per square metre. They are a popular choice for rental properties and areas with heavy foot traffic.

2. Are ‘cheap carpets’ durable?

Yes, modern manufacturing techniques allow for cheap yet durable carpets. Carpets with a high density or made from man-made fibres like polypropylene or nylon can be very hard-wearing, especially twist pile or Berber loop styles.

3. What is the difference between a Saxony and a Twist Pile carpet?

A Saxony carpet has a longer, denser cut pile for a luxurious, softer feel, typically used in bedrooms. A Twist Pile carpet has yarn fibres tightly twisted, giving it a more textured and resilient surface, making it excellent for high-traffic areas like stairs and living rooms.

4. Is carpet underlay really necessary?

Yes, underlay is highly recommended. It enhances the comfort and feel underfoot, provides better sound and thermal insulation (TOG rating), and significantly extends the life of your carpet by absorbing pressure and wear.

5. How is carpet priced in the UK?

Carpet is usually priced per square metre (). Always check if the quoted price includes VAT, underlay, or fitting, as these are usually separate costs.

6. Do you offer a professional carpet fitting service?

Yes, we offer a complete service including expert professional fitting by our team of local carpet fitters to ensure a perfect, hassle-free installation.

7. Can I take my carpet away on the same day?

Absolutely. Our Croydon clearance centre holds over 100 rolls of carpet in stock, which are available to take away immediately upon purchase.

8. What is the best low-cost carpet for a rental property?

We recommend a polypropylene loop pile or a low-pile twist pile carpet. These are known for their resilience, stain-resistance (many are bleach-cleanable), and are easy to maintain and replace, offering great value for money.

9. Do you sell carpet remnants or end-of-roll?

Yes, our clearance centre frequently has a large selection of discounted carpet remnants and end-of-roll pieces, which are perfect for smaller rooms, landings, or making bespoke rugs.

10. What areas do your services cover from the Croydon store?

We primarily serve Croydon and the surrounding areas, including South London and parts of Surrey. Please contact us to confirm if our measuring and fitting service covers your exact postcode.
