Top quality service
Over the past fifty years, literally thousands of homes have had carpet and vinyl installed by hills floorings.
From the smallest room in a home unit, to the largest mansion (and anything in between). As a true independent flooring specialist, hills floorings deal with all the major suppliers and manufacturers and because of the size of the business we are able to command maximum discounts.
There are a lot of cowboys in the industry who don't have the skill-set that a family run business like Hills can offer George Hill, Hills Floorings
The residential sales team have many years experience to draw on and are continually updating the latest trends and colours.
What our Customers think
I feel I must comment on the service I received from yourself and the man who layed the carpet. The service was excellent (I wish more were). The man that layed the carpet was great and a real credit to your Company. Keep up the good work, I shall recommend you to others. S.D, Auckland
We were extremely pleased with the workmanship of your carpet layers and their friendliness. A job well done. Mr & Mrs O, Auckland
I wish to say I was very pleased with the friendliness of the boys that did the work. I am very satisfied with the finished job. S.J.M, Greenhithe
I wish to thank you for the prompt installing of my carpet & vinyl. I am very pleased with the workmanship of your tradesman. He was very pleasant, obliging and helpful in replacing all the furniture. I am very disabled and could not help him at all and this was most appreciated. J.Y, Howick
Thanks for the excellent job!!! W.H, New Lynn
Thank you for a brilliant job in preparing and laying the new vinyl in our kitchen. We are very pleased with the quality of craftsmanship. Terrific! J.C, Remuera
Tips for Buying & Matching your carpet
When it comes to carpets New Zealand has it's own style. New Zealander's prefer to add colour and design with furnishings and accessories rather than having bright carpets.
Generally speaking Kiwi's like their carpets pretty plain, and the manufacturers have become quite aware of this. If you look at our showroom its basically greys, browns and creams. This is because Kiwi's tend to pick their carpet last.
We encourage would-be carpet buyers to tackle the interior design process in a different manner. Choose your carpet first. Start with the carpet and match the paint and furnishings to that. It is far easier in the long run to match the myriad of paints and fabrics to the carpet of your choice, rather than the other way around.
I think one of Dad's pertinent comments - and it's still the way we run our business today - is to make sure you see the carpet on the roll. George Hill, Hills Floorings
If you choose the colour of your carpet first then you've got your base colour, starting from the floor, making it easier to match. Over time you are less likely to change the colour of your carpet than you are the colour of other interior finishes.
The other big choice facing customers is the choice between wool and nylon carpet. No one material is better than another overall. It all depends on where the carpet will be, who will be using it, how much traffic will it get, and the size of the budget.
There is a certain stigma that goes with nylon because we are a wool country. But in reality the good nylon carpets that are coming out today are very good indeed, but you are paying as much, if not more, as you are paying for wool carpet.

- It resists liquid-based spillages and releases dirt easily due to the unique structure of wool fibre.
