Supreme Carpets and a tradition of local service The family that’s been serving the local community since the 19th century hen he was 12 years old, Guy Playford remembers travelling around Dersingham and the surrounding area, taking baskets of freshly-baked bread from his family’s bakery door-to-door to local people. His family could trace their baking pedigree all the way back to 1890, and were even awarded a Royal Warrant for their services in the 1950s – somewhat appropriately as the Sandringham Estate is little over a mile away. Guy remembers those days fondly, and in some ways he’s come full circle. “It’s a very different world now,” he says, “but I’m still part of a family business and I’m still visting people’s homes with a quality product and a great local service.” Indeed, Guy’s closer to his roots than you might imagine. The home of Supreme Carpets (which he founded over 25 years ago) is Dersingham’s Forester's Hall, which dates to 1893 and sits less

than 100 yards from where his father’s bakery once stood. From there, Guy and his brother Tim (ably assisted by a team of experienced fitters) offers a fabulous choice of flooring solutions from carpets to laminates, from rugs to vinyls, and including a choice of natural flooring such as seagrass, sisal, coir and jute. “We really do have something for everyone,” says Guy, “and one of our strengths is using our long experience and local knowledge to give people genuinely useful advice on choosing the right carpet for the right purpose – whether you’re redecorating your lounge, refurbishing a holiday home, or trying to give prospective purchasers a good impression.” The proximity of Supreme Carpets to Sandringham has enabled them to work on several projects on the Royal estate, and Guy’s convinced the company’s exceptional levels of service will help it reach greater heights in the future.
“Looking after our customers has always been at the heart of Supreme Carpets,” says Guy. “That’s why our fitters move all your existing furniture for you, why they level and screed your floors if necessary, and why they’ll professionally trim your doors for a perfect fit. We’ll even remove and dispose of your old carpet!” For true quality and outstanding local service, contact Supreme Carpets - and enjoy a tradition of excellence.
