Please use the form below if you would like us to do this. Should we not have one that covers your area we will do our best to assist you in finding one that would be suitable.

After you fill out the form below and the installation company chosen has measured, they will tell us how much product you will need to order and will supply you with a quotation for installation; this will usually include the necessary ancillary products like underlay, adhesives and door bars etc.

Measuring

All of the broadloom products on our website are 4m and or 4 & 5 metres wide so when measuring you will need to work to that width. Measuring for rooms is quite simple however, if you are looking at having the products installed on stairs and landings etc, we recommend that you ask a specialist to measure it up for you.

We will be happy to recommend someone in your area to do this for you. If we don’t have a recommended installer for your area, we can advise how to find a suitable one.

When measuring a room, always measure the widest point and the longest point and add 10cm to each measurement for cutting in. Please see the diagram below.

Alternatively, you can request a free measure by filling out the form below.

Please be aware that we cannot guarantee that we have preferred fitters in your area. Ensure that the form is filled out in full and we will do everything we can to find a fitter in your area.

Measurement request form.

    EXAMPLE 1

    The room is 3.50m wide and 5m long so the required would be 5.10m x 4m = 20.40 m2

    If the area is over 4 metres wide in both directions you will need to have a join and will have to buy an extra cut to fill the room.

    EXAMPLE 2

    The room is 5.50m wide and 7m long so two cuts required to cover the area as follows 7.10m x 4m and another 7.10m x 4m = 56.80 m2

    You may be thinking of having more than one room done. If this is the case you may be able to use the left over material from diagram 2. It is normal practice to plan each room running the same way especially if they are adjoining rooms.

    Finding the right carpet fitter

    Wall-to-wall natural flooring is a wonderful way to introduce cosy textures and stylish appeal to your home, as well as a great way to reduce the amount of chemicals that you and your family interact with in your living space. However, we know from many years of industry experience – and you may be learning as you search for ways to include these exceptional products in your home – one of the biggest challenges is finding an installer to fit it!

    Natural plant fibre flooring should always be installed by an experienced specialist. Our products should also be allowed time to acclimatise for a minimum of 24 hours in the area it is to be fitted.

    It is still not uncommon to speak to fitters who are reluctant to fit these products due to the extra care and specialist skill that is needed to install them; learn more about why this is in our blog posts and FAQ’s section and continue below to find out how we can help put you in contact with the right installers in your area.
