Carpets and Flooring in Polegate

Polegate sits just north of Hampden Park, so it is the town we reach most easily after Eastbourne itself. Park Flooring supplies and fits carpets, luxury vinyl tile, laminate and sheet vinyl across Polegate, Willingdon, Stone Cross, Westham and out to Pevensey Bay, measured at your home and fitted by the two people who run the shop.

Polegate grew up around its railway station and the roads that meet there, and most of its houses date from the twentieth century. That makes it a straightforward town to fit in, with a few things worth knowing.

The housing stock

The Houses in Polegate

The older streets near the High Street and the station are Victorian and Edwardian terraces and semis, with suspended timber floors and halls that run straight through to the kitchen. Ribbon development between the wars added the semis, chalets and bungalows along the main roads, and it is the bungalow that defines much of Polegate and Lower Willingdon: single storey, square rooms, a long hall, often a conservatory on the back.

The post war and 1960s and 70s estates are the bulk of the town, three bedroom semis and terraces with chipboard upstairs and concrete slabs down, many of them now on their second or third kitchen extension. The newer developments on the north and east sides are modern family houses with open plan ground floors, screeded slabs and, increasingly, underfloor heating.

Wannock and Jevington, at the foot of the Downs, are the village end: older cottages, flint and brick, uneven floors that need a careful measure and a thoughtful choice of underlay.

Carpets and Carpet Fitters in Polegate

Bungalows and family semis mean carpet, and plenty of it: living rooms, bedrooms, the long hall and, in the two storey houses, the stairs and landing. Our carpet fitters bring the sample books to the door, measure every room and fit with new gripper and a proper underlay, so the price you are quoted is the price you pay.

For the rental houses around the station and the estates a stain resistant twist is the sensible choice, and we fit for Polegate landlords and letting agents between tenants.

LVT Flooring in Polegate

Kitchen extensions are where luxury vinyl tile comes into its own in Polegate. A plank or herringbone LVT run from the old kitchen through the new extension, over a floor levelled so the join between the two slabs disappears, is one of our most common jobs here.

On the new estates, glue down LVT over the screed and the underfloor heating is the right floor, and in the bungalows a click LVT through the hall and living room gives a warm, quiet, easily kept floor that suits the way the houses are used.

Vinyl and Laminate Flooring in Polegate

Sheet vinyl in the kitchens and bathrooms, laid in one piece wherever the room fits the roll and sealed at the units and the bath. Laminate in the living rooms and bedrooms of the family houses, where a hard wearing, easily swept floor makes sense with children and dogs, fitted with the right underlay and an expansion gap at every wall.

Both are good value floors, and both are ones we can usually measure, order and fit within a short time of your first call.

Stairs and Landings in Polegate

Stairs in the two storey semis are usually fully fitted; on the painted period stairs near the High Street and in the cottages at Wannock and Jevington, a runner with rods is the better look. Either way we cut and fold every winder so the pile runs true, and carry the same carpet across the landing.

Questions

Polegate is our nearest neighbouring town, just north of Hampden Park where the shop is. It is a short drive, and we are in Polegate most weeks.

Yes. Willingdon and Lower Willingdon, Stone Cross, Westham, Hankham and out to Pevensey and Pevensey Bay are all part of our Polegate area.

Yes. A conservatory floor gets a lot of sun, so we choose a covering rated for it, and we run it through from the hall or living room without a step where the rooms allow.

Yes. We level the join between the old and new slabs and run one floor straight through, so you cannot see where the extension starts.

Yes. Tell us about the room and we will bring a short list of samples when we come to measure. Colours read differently in your own light.
