Steep stairs, narrow halls
The steep stair run is the single defining feature of Chatham's terraces. A dense, tightly twisted pile bends cleanly over each nosing and resists crushing in a way a deep saxony simply can't manage on a stair. Ground floors in these houses are often solid and noticeably cold, so the underlay underneath is doing real thermal work, not just cushioning.
HMOs, first time buyers and long term owners
Chatham has a substantial rental and HMO market sitting alongside first time buyers doing up their first terrace. Both groups want the most durability for the least money, which is precisely what clearance stock is built for.
Chatham's carpet demand is unusually steady, and it isn't hard to see why once you look at the streets climbing away from the town centre.
Row after row of Victorian terrace, many converted into flats or let out, sit on hills with narrow halls, steep stairs and small rooms behind them. That kind of housing eats carpet on the stairs faster than almost anywhere else in Medway, which is exactly where our clearance stock earns its keep.
The run down from the Chatham hills
From most of Chatham the quickest way to us is the A230 down to the A2, then on towards Gillingham Business Park, about three miles and ten minutes in normal traffic. There's free parking on site, so if you're bringing a small van or an estate car to collect a stair carpet or a roll of vinyl there's no charge and no meter to feed. Delivery is also available if a steep terrace makes carrying a heavy roll up from the street impractical.

Chatham questions we hear often
- What's the cheapest sensible way to carpet a whole terrace?
- Mix clearance roll ends across the bedrooms with one slightly heavier roll kept for the stairs and hall.
- Is the A2 or the A230 quicker from ME4?
- Both work well; the A230 down to the A2 is usually the more direct run, roughly ten minutes to ME8 0PY.
- Do trade customers get a separate price list?
- We're open to public and trade alike, and the warehouse-only pricing already applies to everyone.
- When is the best time to come over from Chatham?
- Any time in opening hours, which are Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm and Saturday 9am to 4pm, closed Sundays. There is free parking, so bring the room sizes with you.
- What if my rooms are an awkward shape?
- That is exactly when onsite measuring earns its keep, and it is available across most Kent areas including ME4 and ME5.
