Buying carpet remnants or vinyl flooring online can be the best way to save money while still getting high quality products from big brands.

If you’re thinking about buying remnants, read our top five things to consider while you browse online:

1. Selection

Don’t box yourself in with a retailer who restricts your choices! Your carpet is likely to be a part of your home for years so don’t compromise on what you want. Look for the retailer who offers the widest selection of remnants.

At Burts we’re specialists in remnants, meaning you can choose from thousands of room-sized carpet remnants and vinyl flooring roll ends. Pick from brands including Associated Weavers, Cormar, Crucial Trading, Westex and Rhinofloor.

Did you know, Burts actually has the largest online selection carpet remnants and vinyl offcuts in the UK? That means whether you want the latest stain-resistant carpets for your lounge, bedroom or stairs, or vinyl flooring for the kitchen, hall or bathroom, you can find it in our web store. Browse a huge collection of carpets and flooring to suit your tastes and your budget.

2. Pricing

Not all online retailers offer the same discounts, so make sure you’re dealing with a retailer who offers the best possible deals. Leading remnant specialists like Burts can offer the biggest discounts because they buy in high volumes direct from the manufacturers.

Burts also stands behind its price promise – show us a genuine quote from another supplier and we’ll do our best to match it or even beat it.

3. One-stop shop

You don’t want the hassle of dealing with different vendors when you’re looking for flooring for different rooms. Want carpet for the bedroom and vinyl flooring for the kitchen? Buy them both from Burts. Also buying underlay, carpet grips and adhesive? Burts has got you covered. And if you’re looking for artificial grass remnants, we’ve even got all the weed membrane, pins and plastic pegs you’ll need!

4. Delivery

Delivery is not typically included when buying remnants so look for a supplier who offers delivery at a reasonable rate. At Burts we only charge a standard fee of £24.95 for delivery to the UK mainland. And orders over £350 qualify for delivery completely free of charge.

Also look for an online retailer who delivers in good time. At Burts we aim to deliver all orders within 48 hours. However, bear in mind that deliveries are “kerbside” only, which means the courier won’t bring them into your home, so be prepared and have someone on hand to help you bring in your remnants.

5. Customer service

A good deal is only a good deal if you end up with the flooring you want. Therefore, look for a retailer with a reputation for excellent customer service and one that is up-front about its terms and conditions. You can read our T&Cs here.
