Your hallway is absolutely taking a battering and we all know it 😅

That same strip.
Every.
Single.
Day.

Kids, dogs, muddy boots, school bags being dragged like nobody owns them. It's always the exact same path and it's always where the carpet quietly gives up first.

A made-to-measure runner is honestly one of the best things you can do and it looks gorgeous too.

We're using a beautiful sisal carpet from for this one, finished with a matching natural wool whip around the edge, made by our very own Carl who is quietly and confidently rivalling Sally in the colour matching department. She hasn't admitted it yet but we all see it.

Simple, natural, a little bit sophisticated and a lot more practical. And the best bit? Cleaning it is an absolute doddle. Brush down the sides, vac up the middle and you're done (this is why i bloomin love them). No awkward edges to fight with, no bits the hoover can't reach, just a clean hallway in about thirty seconds flat.

We make them here at our Hixon workshop and fit them across Staffordshire including Stafford, Stone, Cannock, Eccleshall and Lichfield. All we need from you is a photo and some rough measurements and we'll do the rest.

Drop us a message, we don't bite and we love a good hallway chat. 🏡

Sallys skill in action - You can talk about carpet whipping all day, but it's much easier just to watch Sally do it. 🧡

This is a wool whip going onto a carpet edge at our workshop in Staffordshire, turning a raw cut edge into something neat, secure and finished for years. Whipping uses a wool thread stitched over the edge rather than tape, giving a different finish that's perfect for certain carpets and that more traditional look.

Sally has been doing this for so long she could actually donit in her sleep! The stitching lines up perfectly, the tension is just right, and she barely has to think about it. But the bit that no one ever thinks about (and that causes the most discussion ahem.....arguments 😂) is her colour matching.

I honestly dont think people appreciate how hard it can be to match to the 100 shades of tan there is!!! But Sally does it effortlessly (just dont get Carl involved) We've stopped questioning it because she's always right.

If you've got a carpet that needs whipping or a rug you want made to your exact size, you know where we are, Sally is ready and weighting.

There's something extra special about being asked to do the flooring for another local business, especially one right here in Hixon.

This is The Brassington Suite at Alpha Manufacturing, part of The HEX Group Hex Living, where they hold all their meetings with new and existing customers. We replaced the old carpet tiles throughout with fresh new ones, and it's exactly the kind of space that needed to look sharp and professional for the people walking through that door.

When a local business asks you to look after a space like this, it really is a pleasure. Hixon is where our workshop is, it's our village, and getting to help a local business just down the road feels like exactly the kind of work me & Carl have always wanted to be able to do, creating connections localy 🫶

New carpet tiles fitted throughout, finished neatly at every doorway and transition, ready for the next meeting that walks through.

If your business needs a flooring refresh, commercial or otherwise, give us a call.

Ahhhhh, soooooo many people ask us this all the time and the honest answer is they're really not the same product at all...... let me explain.

Standard vinyl is a single printed layer on a thin backing. It does the job, it's waterproof, it's easy to clean, but it can feel a bit hollow underfoot and it'll show every bump in your subfloor if it's not perfectly level.

Luxury vinyl tile is built completely differently. It has a rigid core that gives it strength and stability, a printed layer that can look like real wood or stone, and a tough wear layer on top that protects it from scratches and everyday life. It feels warmer, quieter and far more solid to stand on.

If you are struggling on budget and need something thats spectacular but also a little lighternon the ourse strings then standard vinyl is absolutely fine we love it and we fit it all the time.

But if you want something built to last, that feels genuinely good underfoot and adds value to your home, LVT is worth the difference (vertually indestructible it is) and a our manufacturer we vouch for that.

We don't push one over the other, we talk to you, find out what you want and need and then tell you honestly which one makes sense for your home and your budget.

Carl measures every single stair.

Not just the flight, every...... Individual...... Step.

The tread depth, the rise height, the angle, when doing a stair runner everything matters. Whether they curve or kick out at the bottom or the top step is slightly wider than the rest, it all needs to be templated and measured correctly.

People think he's being obsessive ( I mean I think hes obsessed 😂) but apparently he's not!!

Stairs are never perfectly uniform because each step can be 2mm different from the last. Multiply that across 15 steps and your stair runner is off, its literaly that important.

Off means it bunches, bunches means it becomes a trip hazard and our moto is, we would never EVER create something we wouldnt put in our own home.

So yes.

Carl measures like his life depends on it, or more accurately, like your safety depends on it, which it absolutely does.

And according to Carl that is definitely not obsession..... i have to agree with him, but dont tell him that 😳

If you visit the Amerton Farm showroom, you'll meet Carl.

And if you mention binding tape? Clear your schedule.....

Carl has 200+ binding tape options on the wall, neutrals, bold colours, textures, patterns, the lot, and he LOVES showing people the options.

"Right, so this one's lovely BUT wait til you see THIS one"
"Now this would look gorgeous with that carpet"
"Ooh hang on, have you seen the new one that just came in?"

Forty-five minutes later you've:
- Seen every tape option
- Learned things you never knew you needed to know about binding
- Made the perfect choice
- Probably become bezzies with our Carl (its not hards he"s amazing)

Worth every minute though, Carl's NEVER wrong about tape choices.

Some jobs just stop you in your tracks when they're done. 😍

This is Rolling Hills Littondale Herringbone fitted throughout, with 9mm Tred underlay, new gripper, black door bars and black stair rods, and the binding tape is Stocksfield Hobart which if you look closely is where all that gorgeous colour comes from. Pink, orange, mustard and grey running along every single edge of that staircase against the white painted risers and the oak balustrade.

When Carl sent me these pictures through i HAD to share them...... like now 😍.

The herringbone weave carries through from the landing carpet right down the runner, and the way the Hobart tape frames every step is the kind of thing you notice even when you're not looking for it.

This one was a full team effort, fitted by Ant, Carl and Corey, and we are all very proud of it, we hope you love it to.

If you've been thinking about a stair runner and wondering whether it could really make that much difference to a hallway, this is your answer.

When the brief is a roll top bath, original Victorian fittings, and a floor that has to hold its own against all of it, you need something with a bit of character.

This is Aphrodite Belgravia Grey vinyl by fitted by Carl in a beautiful bathroom in Stone, and we think it's brought this bathroom to life ✨

The pattern matching around the shower base, the toilet, the bath feet and every corner of this room is exactly the kind of thing that looks effortless when it's done right and is anything but. Carl doesn't cut corners, quite literally, and this floor is the proof.

The before photos are in there too because the transformation deserves to be seen properly. What was underneath wasn't pretty but what came out the other side absolutely is.

If you've got a bathroom that needs a floor worthy of the room, you know where we are. 🏡

There are two types of people.

Those who see stair runners and think yes, finally, exactly what my stairs needed.

And those who see stair runners and think they look a bit old fashioned.

Both are valid, we all have our own different tastes.

But id absolutely love to know which camp you're in.

Because we've been fitting stair runners for years and the people who go for them never look back. There's something about a properly fitted stair runner that makes a whole hallway feel finished.

And with the amount of colours, patterns and binding tape options we have at Amerton Farm in Staffordshire? You will not find something boring. Tots Promise.

Carl cuts and binds every single one in our workshop so you know there british man, small family business made and helping us grow a business we are super proud of.... oh and no waiting weeks, cause we make them with our own fair hands.

🏡 Sometimes a little help goes a long way...

One of our lovely customers had already fallen in love with our Walnut vinyl, but wanted to visualise how it would sit alongside everything else she was pulling together for her staircase makeover. So we did what we do best and put together this little mood board for her! 🎨

She's considering our Camden Stripe (T33 01) and Kensington Weave (T33 02) binding tapes alongside a classic Hartley Braid (T14 01), paired with a stunning antique brass stair rod, we think it's going to look beautiful.

The natural jute swatches and underlay options round it all out nicely, giving her the full picture before any decisions are made.

This is my absolute favourite thing to do as Bestbind helping customer make a chose that they will be ahpoy with for years to come, no rushing, no guesswork, just making sure you're completely confident before we get started. 💛

Got a project you'd like a little help pulling together? Drop us a message, we're always happy to help! 👇
