Carpet and flooring in East Melbourne
East Melbourne sits between the Fitzroy and Treasury Gardens and the MCG, about 20 km by road from our Huntingdale showroom. Behind its Victorian terraces and mansions are offices, specialist consulting rooms near the hospitals, and apartments.
For a practice or office, the timing of the job matters as much as the floor itself.
Consulting rooms and offices
- After-hours installation: we can lay floors after hours or at weekends so appointments aren’t disrupted. Our commercial page lists a medical centre where we laid 165 m² of carpet tiles after hours.
- Carpet tiles ($35–$60/m² supply, $15/m² installed) soften sound between rooms and in waiting areas, and a stained tile can be swapped on its own.
- Treatment rooms that need a wipe-clean floor suit safety and commercial sheet vinyl, from $45/m² supply and $32/m² installed.
- Heritage buildings: we work around original features and plan access through narrow entries and stairs.

Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to carpet a consulting room?
Our commercial page shows an 18 m² consulting room at $1,400.40 to $1,886.40 supplied and installed in carpet tiles, including the $450 small-job charge and before floor preparation.
Is carpet or vinyl better for a waiting room?
Carpet tiles are quieter and warmer; sheet vinyl is easier to wipe down. Many practices use carpet tiles in waiting areas and offices, and vinyl in treatment rooms.
