We get it. When you’re looking for new flooring, it can be tempting to wander into one of those massive chain stores. Rows of endless aisles, neon lights, a sales assistant who barely looks up from the till… sound familiar? At Frank’s The Flooring Store, we believe there’s a better way. We’re proud to be the North East’s largest independent, family-run flooring retailer, and we know first-hand why shopping local isn’t just the friendlier choice, it’s the smarter one too.
When you walk into a Frank’s store, you’re not just another number on a spreadsheet. You’re a neighbour, a friend, someone whose home we genuinely care about. Our staff don’t work to hit corporate sales targets. We’re here to help you find flooring that suits your home, your lifestyle and your budget. And if that means we spend an extra ten minutes chatting about your dog or your hallway layout, then that’s exactly what we’ll do.
We’ve been flooring North East homes for over 25 years, which means we know our stuff. From finding the right carpet for a cosy lounge to choosing waterproof vinyl for a busy kitchen, our advice comes from experience, not a script. At Frank’s, you’ll get honest guidance from people who actually care about your home, not someone pointing you to whatever product the head office wants sold this week.
Here’s the kicker. People sometimes think big box stores are cheaper but they’re not. At Frank’s The Flooring Store, we’ve built our reputation on unbeatable prices. Our Price Promise means you’ll never pay more than you should. If you spot flooring cheaper elsewhere, bring the like-for-like quote to us and we’ll beat it.
Local doesn’t mean limited. With over 40,000 rolls of carpet in stock plus laminate, vinyl, LVT, hardwood and rugs, we’ve got more choice than you’ll ever need. But instead of trudging through endless aisles trying to figure it out on your own, we’ll walk you through it, step by step with clear advice and a friendly smile.
When you buy flooring from Frank’s, your money stays in the North East. It supports local jobs, helps local families and keeps our community thriving. Spend it with a faceless chain and it disappears into a head office miles away. We’re proud of our roots and proud to be part of the North East – shopping with us means you’re part of that story too.
We’re not just selling carpets and vinyl. We’re helping you create a home. From the moment you step through the door to the day your new flooring is fitted, we’ll be with you every step of the way. Honest advice, unbeatable prices and a proper North East welcome. That’s what makes us different. That’s why shopping local always wins.
Is shopping local really cheaper than buying from a big box store?
Yes. At Frank’s, our Price Promise means we beat any like-for-like quote, so you’re always getting the best deal.
Why should I shop local for flooring instead of online?
Shopping local means you can see and feel the flooring before you buy. Plus, you’ll get personalised advice from experts who know North East homes inside out.
Does Frank’s offer as much choice as national chains?
Absolutely. With tens of thousands of carpets and a wide range of laminate, vinyl, LVT, hardwood and rugs, you’ll be spoilt for choice.
What makes Frank’s different from national flooring chains?
We’re family-run, local and genuinely care about our customers. Add unbeatable prices and expert advice, and it’s clear why Frank’s is the better choice.
