Flooring for homes on the edge of the Peak District
Dore and Totley, in Sheffield's S17, are where the city meets the moors. Dore's village green carries a stone marking the meeting of the kings of Wessex and Northumbria in 829. Totley Tunnel takes the Hope Valley line west, and Blacka Moor and the Longshaw estate are a short walk away. The houses are among the finest in South Yorkshire: gritstone cottages, Edwardian and 1930s detached homes on large plots, and contemporary rebuilds with views out to the hills.
Our showroom is in Doncaster, about 29 miles away via the M18 and Sheffield. With our free Choose at Home service, we bring the showroom to you. Surefit Carpets is a family business, trading since 1998, and an approved retailer for Karndean, Quick-Step, Brintons and Ulster Carpets.
Ideas for S17 homes
Edwardian and 1930s detached houses
Large hallways and wide staircases suit carpet that is made to last. A woven Wilton carpet from Brintons or Ulster Carpets, in a quiet stripe or a heathered plain, gives a tailored, hard-wearing finish. Drawing rooms suit the depth and warmth of 100% wool carpet. Where original parquet has gone, Karndean Art Select recreates it in a more practical form.
Boot rooms, halls and kitchens
When the moors are on the doorstep, the entrance works hard. Karndean stone- or wood-effect luxury vinyl through the hall, boot room and kitchen copes with wet dogs and walking boots and stays warm underfoot. Quick-Step laminate is a natural-looking option for studies and playrooms.
Contemporary homes
For new and remodelled homes with large glazing, wide-plank floors and minimal thresholds work best. luxury rugs add softness and help with the acoustics in open, hard-surfaced rooms.

Respecting stone and timber
Many S17 homes have oak doors, deep skirtings and stone thresholds, and they deserve careful work. Our fitters take time over door trims, thresholds and stair nosings, and we discuss any trimming before it is done. Colour choices often lean towards heathers, oatmeals and moorland greys that sit naturally against gritstone.
