Price and value
Budget carpet for rentals and landlords
The cheapest carpet in a let is the one you do not have to replace at the next changeover. Here is how to get both.
Rental flooring is a different problem to home flooring. Nobody living in the property chose it, the wear is harder than in an owner-occupied house, and the clock that matters is the void period rather than the fashion cycle. Budget in a let means lowest cost per tenancy, not lowest price per square metre.
We hold thousands of rolls in stock, which is the part landlords care about most. A carpet that is already in the building can be cut today and delivered in 1 to 3 working days, so a changeover does not sit waiting on a supplier order.

- Sheet vinyl in 2m, 3m and 4m widths, cut while you wait
- Single rooms
- Roll ends and clearance offcuts keep small remedial jobs proportionate
- Trade account
- Discounts and bulk-buy pricing, no minimum spend to open
- Turnaround
- Same-day collection, or delivery in 1 to 3 working days
Spec once, reorder for years
The landlords who spend the least are the ones who stop choosing. Settle on two or three repeat specifications and every future void becomes a phone call rather than a decision.
One twist for dry rooms
A mid weight twist in a mid grey or beige hides more than a pale or a very dark carpet and does not date between tenancies.
One vinyl for wet rooms
Wood or tile effect sheet vinyl in kitchens, bathrooms and utilities. Cheaper to replace and it survives a washing machine leak.
One stain-resistant option
For pet-friendly lets, where an argument over a single mark costs more in admin than the carpet did.
Roll ends for the odd room
One box room damaged by one tenant does not justify a full roll.
What actually fails first in a let
Stairs, the first metre inside the front door and the strip in front of the kitchen sink. Everything else usually survives the tenancy. Putting the better carpet in those three places and the budget carpet everywhere else is the single most effective change a landlord can make to their flooring spend.
Buying for more than one property
Trade accounts are available for landlords, letting agents, installers, builders and developers, with discounts and bulk-buy pricing. If you are managing a block or a portfolio, send the schedule of rooms and we will price the whole thing rather than property by property.

Budget carpet for rentals, your questions answered
- What is the most cost-effective carpet for a rental property?
- A hard-wearing twist pile in a mid tone for the dry rooms, with sheet vinyl in kitchens and bathrooms. It cleans up between tenancies, does not flatten in a hallway and does not date.
- How quickly can you supply for a void turnaround?
- Most in-stock items are delivered within 1 to 3 working days with a delivery date given, or you can collect the same day from Maidstone or Gillingham.
- Do landlords get trade pricing?
- Yes. Trade accounts with discounts and bulk-buy pricing are available for landlords, letting agents, installers, builders and developers.
- Can you supply one room at a time?
- Yes, and roll ends and clearance offcuts are usually the right answer for a single damaged room rather than buying from a full roll.
- Will you beat the price my usual supplier gives me?
- Yes, we will beat any legitimate quote. Send the quote with the room sizes and we will price against it.
