Carpets Chosen in Daylight,Fitted Properly

Halls, stairs and landings take the most wear of any floor in the house, and grit walked in from the street is what wears a carpet out. A dense wool twist or a firm berber loop with a good underlay is the right choice, and a darker or flecked colour keeps looking clean between vacuums.

Living rooms want comfort and a carpet that recovers from furniture and feet. Wool twist is the staple for a reason: it springs back, hides footmarks and keeps its colour. A textured loop gives a softer, more relaxed look if the room is more sofa than through route.

Bedrooms can have whatever feels best. This is where a deep saxony earns its place, because the pile is only ever walked on in socks or bare feet. Guest rooms and dressing rooms are the same.

Wool is natural, resilient and slightly matt, and it ages gracefully. A good wool twist will still look right in ten years. It costs more per metre, and it is the carpet we recommend for the rooms you sit in.

Polypropylene and polyester carpets are stain resistant, bleach cleanable in many ranges, and very good value. They are the sensible choice for a family hall, a rental property or a room where a spilt glass of wine is a matter of time. Modern ranges look far better than they did even a few years ago.

Many people mix the two: wool in the living room and bedrooms, a stain resistant twist on the stairs and landing. There is no wrong answer, only the right carpet for how each room is used.

We fit carpets across Eastbourne every week, from the Victorian terraces of Old Town and Upperton to the newer homes at Sovereign Harbour and Langney, and out to Polegate, Hailsham, Bexhill and Lewes. Every job starts with a free measure, and the price we quote covers the carpet, the underlay, the gripper, the fitting and the clearing away.

Landlords and letting agents use us for turnaround work between tenants, where a hard wearing stain resistant carpet fitted quickly and properly is exactly what is wanted.
