Pay Weekly Carpets & Vinyls

Pay Weekly Carpets & Vinyls: flooring and blinds at home with weekly payments

Pay Weekly Carpets & Vinyls is a British company dedicated to the sale and installation of flooring and made-to-measure blinds. Its approach is to bring the showroom to the customer's home: an expert visits with samples and measuring tools, advises on the choice and carries out the installation, while payment is split into weekly instalments. The service requires no credit checks and instalments start at £10 per week.

Product range

The offer covers four main families:

• Carpets: a wide selection of styles, colours and textures. The price includes underlay, grippers and door bars.
• Laminate flooring: wood-effect, durable and available in a variety of colours; flexible payment options available.
• Vinyl flooring: low-maintenance and built to last, with different styles, colours and textures. Fitting, door trims and advice are included in the price.
• Made-to-measure blinds: designed as a decorative complement, easy to clean and suitable for allergy sufferers; they provide privacy without the need for net curtains and can be purchased with weekly payments.

The company has been expanding its range with furniture, sofas, beds, appliances and garden furniture.

The buying and installation process

The service is structured in three steps. First, the customer chooses the product: the company brings samples of carpets, laminate, vinyl and blinds to the home so they can be seen in the home's real light, with expert advice and a no-obligation quote. Second, the order is confirmed: a £40 survey fee and the first weekly payment of £1 are paid on the same day, and the installation date is set at the customer's convenience. Third, a professional installer fits all the material and the customer continues with weekly payments on the day of their choice.

History and expansion

Founded in April 2015 by the Addy family in West Yorkshire, the company presents itself as the original pay weekly flooring company and, according to its own description, the largest in the UK in that segment. It has depots in Middlesbrough, Bradford, Keighley, Birkenhead, Swindon, Colchester and Belfast, and planned to open a new one in Scotland in spring 2021. As of January 2021, the company stated it had served more than 300,000 customers.

Financing model

The weekly payment system is presented as an alternative to paying in full and to traditional financing. The customer pays an affordable instalment over a predefined term and, at the end, the goods remain theirs unless they request their removal. This scheme is aimed at people with an imperfect credit history or limited income, and does not require a credit check.
