Flooring & Carpet Installation, Cardiff

An experienced landlord in Cardiff contacted us ahead of a new tenancy in his three-bedroom buy-to-let property in Roath. With the property recently vacated, he wanted to carry out essential upgrades to ensure it remained appealing, durable, and easy to maintain for future tenants. One of the key priorities was replacing the existing worn-out flooring throughout the house. He opted for laminate flooring downstairs and carpet upstairs, a popular and cost-effective combination.

Requirements

Mr. Ahmed’s brief was clear and practical:

• Replace all ground floor flooring with durable, easy-to-clean laminate
• Install new carpet on the stairs, landing, and all upstairs bedrooms
• Choose finishes that would appeal to a broad range of tenants
• Deliver the project quickly to meet the re-letting deadline
• Offer good value without compromising on quality

Solution

Following a site visit and consultation, we recommended a hard-wearing, water-resistant oak-effect laminate flooring for the ground floor – ideal for high-traffic areas like the hallway, living room, and kitchen. For the upstairs, a medium-pile twist carpet in a warm grey tone was selected for its durability, neutral appeal, and comfort underfoot.

Our team began by carefully removing the old flooring and preparing the subfloors. The laminate was installed with underlay to improve sound insulation and feel, while the carpet fitting included new grippers and underlay for maximum longevity.

Results

The new flooring made an immediate impact, helping modernise the property while keeping within budget.

The results included:

• Low-maintenance laminate flooring downstairs – perfect for tenant use and easy cleaning
• Cosy and welcoming carpet upstairs, creating a comfortable living space
• Neutral design choices, ideal for appealing to a wide tenant base
• Fast turnaround, with the entire job completed in under a week
• Professional finish, ready for letting photos and viewings

Conclusion

This project highlights how the right carpet and flooring in Cardiff can refresh a rental property quickly and cost-effectively. By combining stylish laminate flooring downstairs with comfortable carpet upstairs, landlords can boost appeal while keeping long-term maintenance to a minimum.
