This time of year is ideal for making home improvements. If you have to shut off the heating and/or electricity for a while, you won't be sat in darkness by 4pm, or throwing on layer after layer to ward off the cold.

Yet renovating or refurbishing your home isn't cheap; take into account the various trades you may need to call in, supplies, sign-off gas and electrical certificates and you will soon realise that it 'pays' to choose people and suppliers carefully.  

Based in Orsett near Thurrock, Benems Carpet & Flooring Centre is the area's number one independent local flooring store offering a huge range of carpets, flooring, fires, stoves and accessories to suit all budgets. It may sound like a cliché but Benems – and its sister company, Benems Fires – really does have something for everyone. 

Benems enjoys a fantastic reputation in the area; Benems Carpet & Flooring Centre was voted the third Most Loved business in Thurrock whilst Benems Fires placed fourth in 2013's 14 Days of Love.

This is supported with my knowledge that our fitting teams take an accomplished pride in their work, so we’ll never fail to fulfil our customer’s desires to the highest of standards.
