Q3 2024

Even though the flooring is often the last thing to be installed, Floors at Fourteen recognises that the decision of which one to choose is just as important as the colour of the paint chosen for the walls. This is why the company’s staff are specialists in everything from carpet and engineered wood to sheet vinyl and luxury vinyl tiles. Every member of this team is a perfectionist in their own right, and they will recommend only the most suitable flooring for a space, before laying it masterfully and with the uppermost confidence. As touched on above, Floors at Fourteen is distinguished by its fullservice approach, meaning that it does much more than simply lay the floor. Whether a client needs help with colour design theory, managing the logistics of a renovation, or even researching the best finish to complement a room, the business has their needs covered. An extension of this can be seen in the company offering the likes of free surveys, quotations, and samples, as well as CAD (computer-aided design) services that allow a client to see their chosen floor in their home digitally. Beyond its in-house team, Floors at Fourteen’s Founder/CEO, Jessica Sussex, partners with Polly Ashman, an interior designer sharing a like-minded commitment to crafting beautiful atmospheres within the homes of clients. With an ability to utilise wonderful colours and patterns to bring character-filled houses to life, the combination of Floors at Fourteen’s unique flooring skill and Polly’s all-round interior design capabilities allow projects to be finished to an industry-leading standard that results in totally satisfied customers. Yet another way Floors at Fourteen drives satisfaction is by embracing the trend of recyclable materials across the flooring space, something that applies to both customer demand and the industry’s manufacturing processes. This is not always easy, as carpets and other such older materials are still not widely recyclable. To remedy this, the company is forging links with new suppliers to think more carefully about the products that are being used in our homes. For example, some suppliers are utilising plastic bottles found in the ocean in their manufacturing of first-class carpets, which are both high quality and surprisingly affordable. This last area ties into another area of focus for Jessica and her team, as the rising cost of living across the UK is seeing people search for carpet and flooring that is highly affordable, and yet still of a good enough standard to provide them with a comfortable home. Regardless of budget, Floors at Fourteen is determined to help all customers bring their vision to life. It is the diversity of this industry that drew Jessica to it in the first place, as she is able to leverage her creativity to afford a customer the desired ambiance for their home. "The relationship between you and the client is a collaboration”, Jessica details when offering up her advice on how SMEs can find success in the market. “As much as I try with my whole being to ensure something can be achieved, technically sometimes it is just not possible. Promising the world and then not delivering is worse than being honest about the realistic nature of a project.” In this sphere, having an incredible team behind her who supports the day to day nature of the business is crucial, to which Jessica finds herself incredibly lucky, but this too is a collaborative process, and thus underpins Floor at Fourteen’s entire operation. When asked about the future of Floors at Fourteen Ltd, Jessica tells us that she remains wholly passionate about interiors more broadly, and hints that this may be the direction that the business expands in over the coming years. For now, however, Jessica Sussex and the entire Floors at Fourteen team remain entirely committed to providing the outstanding services that their clients have come to expect, be it fitting a fluffy carpet in a cinema room or uplifting and disposing of a property’s current flooring to make way for a shiny new one.
