Carpets

Types of Carpets

Wool

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

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.

Polyamide

Polyamide is an exceptionally tough synthetic material and is exceptionally hard-wearing – it is also good for lively colours and patterns.

Types of Pile

Twist

Twist is as the name suggests, it is made of twisted yarn – it comes in a very wide range of colours and prices, and can be plain or a heather type mix.

Berber / Natural

Berbers and Naturals are made with small or wide loops of yarn, giving a smooth or textured finish that is stylish but hard wearing.

Cut Pile

Cut pile carpets such as Saxony’s are made with tufts that are then cut off at different lengths to give a soft, luxurious finish – for example, Shag pile is made with extra-long tufts.

Cut and Loop

Cut and loops are made with both cut pile and loop pile to give texture to any room.

Flat Weave

Flat weave are made with interlocking threads this carpet has a shallow pile. Although the pile is loop there is no height, which means it shows no sign of flattening.

Wilton’s

Wilton’s are rich quality woven carpets normally in traditional regal styles using many colours. They are woven from a continuous strand of yarn, and can come in either looped or cut pile varieties.

Paul and Emma quite simply transformed our home. Ripped up and disposed of our old carpets, replaced skirting boards, fitted the sound insulation underlay we requested and then the much-discussed cork tiles. It looks and feels amazing, we keep marvelling at how beautifully they completed the work, how quickly and so neat. Paul gave me lots of advice beforehand, he and Emma know their stuff about all things flooring and we are thrilled with the result. Also very tidy and efficient, and just very pleasant people to deal with. Would definitely use this company again!

Paul did a fantastic job for us in our hallway & living room. We had carpet lifted, removed & disposed. The concrete floor was levelled and then LVT flooring fitted throughout. The workmanship is top quality with a lovely finish. Paul and Emma were professional, friendly, polite, courteous, tidy & punctual. Despite having to level the floor, which wasn't expected/planned, they worked incredibly hard to complete the work in the original timescale. Therefore avoiding any disruption to our or their schedules! I would highly recommend their services and we will most definitely have them back for future work!

Paul and Emma first came to us two years ago. We were so pleased with their service that we thought of them immediately for our most recent carpeting requirements. Paul and Emma are both friendly and professional and provide outstanding workmanship and attention to detail. We will be delighted to use their services again! Thank you Paul and Emma!

Paul and Emma came to lay wood flooring throughout our hallway, dining room and living room. The whole experience was excellent! They work with a high level of care and attention to detail, but also quickly and efficiently. They know exactly what they're talking about and are super friendly to boot. We're absolutely delighted with the level of service, the finished floor and the way in which it was done. Highly recommended! So much so that we're rebooking to get our carpets done next 😀

What an excellent experience from start to finish. It’s a five star review all the way. Paul and his lovely wife are the nicest people and do a really fantastic job in the quickest time frame possible while not cutting corners in any way. These are seasoned professionals who provide really good advice, a quality product and meticulous service at the best price possible. We would not consider going anywhere else and feel very lucky to be able to call on folks so reliable professional and lovely too!

I used Barnard Flooring in November to lay a new cork floor throughout the downstairs lounge and kitchen. They are a small, organised company who are professional and friendly. The finish was of a high standard and they were clean and tidy. Would recommend.
