A caring
family business established in 1969
Floorings supplied and fitted with outstanding customer care
Whittaker Carpets was established in 1969 by husband and wife team Terry and Janet Whittaker. 50 years later, the business is still owned and managed by the same family - now including a third generation of Whittakers. To us, it's more like a way of life than a business!
Many things have changed over the years, but one guiding principle that remains is our complete commitment to customer care. That's why we have resisted the 'carpet cash and carry' approach offered by the large national chains, and chosen instead to perfect our fully inclusive supply and fitting service.
When you choose your carpet, vinyl floor or LVT from Whittaker Carpets, you'll benefit from a complete service that includes supply, delivery and expert fitting including any materials and extras required to complete the work. All backed by a highly personal service and our years of experience that 'the sheds' simply cannot match. We believe this represents better overall value and a much more stress-free solution for our customers.
Located just a few miles from Norwich in Norfolk, we invite you to contact us for a superior flooring service. Our advice and estimates are offered free and without obligation.
