Care home flooring isn’t just about aesthetics — it has to perform under continuous wear, stand up to incontinence, sluice equipment and trolleys, support infection control, and meet slip-resistance requirements in bathrooms and wet areas. Choosing the wrong product is expensive: it fails early, looks tired, and can put residents at risk.
The products we most commonly specify and fit for care homes include:
We’re happy to recommend specific products based on a site walk-round and your operational requirements — every care home is different, and the wrong specification will cost you within a year.
Care home flooring projects rarely happen in isolation — they’re part of CQC compliance, insurance requirements, refurbishment cycles, or new resident move-ins. You need a supplier who understands timescales, can work around residents and care delivery, and can react when something needs attention quickly.
Every care home customer is assigned a dedicated account manager who will visit your site, advise on specification, manage scheduling around resident routines, and remain your single point of contact through every project. Whether you operate a single home or a group of properties across the East Midlands, we’ll build a working relationship that makes flooring one of the easier parts of your job.
We’re a member of the Carpet 1st buying group — one of the largest independent flooring buying organisations in the UK — and the Carpet Foundation, the consumer code-backed body that recognises trusted, ethical UK flooring retailers and contractors. That combination of buying power and accreditation means our trade pricing on Polyflor, Danfloor, Altro, Karndean and other commercial brands is genuinely competitive.
For planned refurbishment programmes covering multiple rooms or multiple sites, we offer agreed schedule-of-rates pricing so your finance and procurement teams can budget accurately year-on-year. For one-off refurbishments and reactive jobs, we provide written quotations within 48 hours of survey.
We don’t load prices, we don’t surprise customers with extras, and we won’t be beaten on a like-for-like quote.
The best way to specify care home flooring properly is to walk the site. We offer free, no-obligation surveys for any care home in Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire or Leicestershire — typically within a week of enquiry.
Our surveyor will assess subfloor condition, measure accurately, photograph problem areas, and recommend specific products for each space. You’ll receive a written quotation with full product specifications, lifetime expectations, and itemised installation pricing — all within a couple of working days of the visit.
Call us on 0115 940 4110 or email info@carpet-style.co.uk to arrange a survey.
All flooring is fitted by our directly employed installation teams — never subcontracted. Every fitter is fully insured, DBS-checked where required, NICF-qualified, and experienced in working in occupied care home environments.
That means rooms turned around quickly to minimise disruption, careful management of dust and debris, infection control protocols followed, and a finished standard that genuinely lasts. We’ll work to your operational schedule — early mornings, evenings, weekends, or phased over weeks if that’s what the home needs.
Once a project is complete, we provide all relevant product documentation, fire and slip certifications, and aftercare guidance — everything your CQC inspector or insurer will want to see.
