Welcome to Carp-a-tex, a leading supplier and fitter of floors, curtains, and blinds in Berkshire and Hampshire.

Our dedicated staff have a collective experience of over 150 years in the industry, ensuring that our customers receive the highest quality service.
Our History
Carp-a-tex has its roots dating back to 1956, when carpet fitters Eric Marsh and Cyril Wicks were offered a contract to manage the flooring and curtain work for local brewery Simonds the Brewers. The two of them provided and fitted the curtains, flooring, and furniture for all the Simonds pubs and hotels across the UK. From this off-chance contract, Carp-a-tex was born, and Cyril Wicks decided to turn it into a limited company a few years later. Berkshire County Council soon heard about our superior flooring work and appointed Carp-a-tex as the first port of call to carry out any flooring work on behalf of the council, including schools, hospitals, and residential homes.
Over the years, the business has continued to grow and evolve, with Cyril enjoying nearly 30 years at the helm before retiring in 1985. The business was then taken over by Martin Povey, who expanded Carp-a-tex further and lifted it to one of the most respected flooring companies in the area. In the present day, Carp-a-tex is now in the hands of its third owners, brothers Kevin and Jason Minns, who started with the company as novice carpet fitting apprentices many years before. Together with their father, David Minns, these owners have a collective experience in the carpeting industry of well over 100 years.
