We fit carpet and vinyl flooring at scale. Trusted by our customers for over 40 years.
DS Flooring Solutions was established in July 2024 when the incumbent management team acquired the flooring division from Claude Hooper Interiors, which had been in operation for over 40 years.
We are a nationwide supply and fit flooring contractor and do a mixture of residential and commercial projects. We work with national housebuilders on the residential side specialising on new build only and fitting carpet, carpet tiles, vinyl (flat lay & cap and cove) and LVT. We have done work with builders like Redrow and Bloor Homes.
On the commercial side of things, we work across commercial property, hospitality, leisure, and healthcare. The team has expert knowledge and experience dealing with office refurbishments, full hotel fit-outs, care homes plus student accommodation and has worked with national hotel chains, blue-chip companies, well known hospitality brands as well as smaller independent projects. We pride ourselves on delivering projects on time to meet the demands of the customer and ensuring the highest quality of finish every time.
