Based in South Yorkshire, this long-established flooring business supplies and fits carpet, vinyl and hard floor coverings for commercial and domestic clients. It has been trading for 30 years and runs from a single leasehold site with a showroom, offices and warehouse.
Commercial contracting makes up around 80% of sales. Clients include facilities management companies, main contractors, housing associations and education providers, and the business is on approved supplier lists for schools, colleges, universities and housing associations. It holds CHAS, Constructionline and SSIP accreditation and is a member of the flooring industry's trade association. Domestic customers buy through the showroom, which carries the leading carpet and vinyl brands, including a premium luxury vinyl range the business sells through a direct account.
Around 80% of work is repeat business, and a quarter of commercial work is reactive work under contracts already in place. The business buys direct from the major flooring manufacturers and fits with its own employed teams, managed by experienced contracts managers. The owner is willing to consider a short transition period.
The business would suit a flooring or building services group looking for regional coverage, or a contractor that could offer extra trades to an established client base.
