Popular Carpets for Shieldfield Houses
The right carpet depends on where you live. Shieldfield has tower blocks, student flats, and Victorian houses. Each type needs different carpets. Here's what works best:
High-Rise Flats (Shieldfield Towers & Modern Blocks)
Twist pile carpets work best in these flats. They're tough and easy to clean. The floors are concrete so fitting is straightforward.
Loop pile carpets resist heavy foot traffic. They stay looking good longer. We add thick acoustic underlay underneath. This stops noise going to flats below. Your neighbours will thank you.
All our carpets for flats are fire-safe. This meets building rules.
Student Accommodation (Portland Green & Cluster Flats)
Students need carpets that handle spills and mess. Synthetic carpets clean with bleach. They don't stain easily.
We pick neutral colors like grey and brown. These hide marks well. They look good in photos for new tenants too.
Low pile carpets work best. They dry quickly after cleaning. We add washable mats at doorways for muddy shoes.
Victorian Terraces & Period Properties
These old houses have character. Saxony carpets feel luxury in bedrooms. They're soft underfoot.
The wooden floors need checking first. Sometimes we fix creaky boards. We can fit premium underlay for extra comfort.
Bay windows need special measuring. The stairs are usually narrow and steep. We fit proper stair rods and nosings for safety.
Landlord & Student Lets Expertise
Make more money from your rental properties. Choose carpets that last longer and look better. We know the student rental market around Northumbria University well.
Best Carpets for Rentals
Use bleach-cleanable carpets in neutral colours. These clean easily between tenants. They photograph well for rental websites too.
We can fit carpets the same week you book. This cuts down empty periods. Quick turnarounds mean more rental income.
Stop Noise Problems
Acoustic underlay prevents complaints from downstairs neighbours. This protects your reputation. Happy neighbours mean fewer problems.
Council licensing for HMOs needs noise control. Our acoustic solutions help you pass inspections.
Professional Service
We give you proper invoices for tax records. We work with local letting agents. This makes handovers smooth.
We understand HMO rules and building regulations. Our work meets all requirements.
Save Money Long-Term
Our carpet choices last years not months. Stain-resistant treatments reduce cleaning costs. Synthetic carpets handle bleach without damage.
This keeps your properties ready to rent all year round.
