Bespoke carpets for a song

Shaw Carpets of Darton near Barnsley did us a complete set of  carpets,including cab carpets, cut  to pattern from our original set in heavier duty carpet for Winter use.Price with binding was £70-we just had to put press studs in place to match the locators.We swap back to the originals in Summer when we and the dog have finished tramping mud in the van.If you live in SY or WY  nip down the M1 to J38 and head for Barnsley;they are worth a trip out as they are very helpful and offer great VFM..

Looks like you all got bargins.

Just collected a set of 3, cut using the originals as templates, from the local 'cheap' carpet shop, cost me £100

Just Had my Twin Axle swift conqueror done in some amazing luxury carpet. The old swift ones were rubbish and never vacuumed up nicely

Used Pauls Carpet warehouse Off cut amazing £70 and the whipping £50 which looks 150% better than the original taping. 3 huge pieces, Perfectly cut and whipped - Thoroughly recommend. (Lots of cheaper pieces depending on budget and sizes required.)

On my recommendation a friend of my sister had carpets made from offcuts from the carpets she'd had fitted at home (which they had stored in their garage).  She had them whipped for £1 a metre, at a company we used, and they came in at less than £20 for the set including, velcro tabs in each corner.  In this area there are lots of places which whip the edges of carpets - we're frugal lot in Yorkshire!!

You may find a stall a market near you, which sells carpet offcuts bound as rugs, and they may also make you a very cheap set, made to measure.

No dogs but we did similar for under £30.  We put them on top of the van carpets in the winter, use original van carpets in spring and autumn and remove all carpets in the summer.

Well done on the carpets.

I gave up the battle of trying to keep the dogs on the floor....

Don't let it be a battle, show them who's the leader, I say 'UP' and she jumps onto the seat 

I change the carpets in our van every couple of years , being a carpet fitter l get the material and binding for nowt 😀.Has to be some perks to still working !!.

Must be one of the most ridiculous replies I have ever seen on this site we take our dogs with us because we love them and would not entertain putting them in kennels to try and keep them of the bench seats is ridiculous our dogs know the pecking order . put throws on and chill. I watch with interest how many dog lovers agree with you.

Anyway, it's so much easier to move around a cvan/MH with the dogs tucked up out of the way. 

This all seems very good value.  I think we will eventually need to get ours done.  I wouldn't mind betting that the new carpets you have made up are of a better quality than those that come with most caravans?
