Heritage
Peter Hall Flooring was founded in 1959 by Peter Hall and his wife Eileen. Somewhat of a Pioneer in the trade at the time, the industry that they joined is very different to which the company trades in now.
Trading from their first shop in Wickham Market, Peter and Eileen laid the foundations for the company which can be seen today. Working hard they gained a loyal customer base and built knowledge in the somewhat new trade of flooring. As the popularity and affordability of flooring reached the general public Peter decided to make flooring the main focus of the company. Up until this point it had been an ever-expanding line in their hardware shop.
As the demand for flooring increased further, the company had to follow suit. In 1984 Kevin Ward joined as an apprentice floor fitter. As Son-in-law to Peter and Eileen, his interest in the day to day running of the company allowed him to not only learn the practical aspects of fitting but also the skills of measuring, sales and business admin.

Peter and Eileen both retired at the start of 1997 and Kevin took ownership of the company. Filling the big kneepads left by Peter’s retirement, Kevin gained further knowledge and experience. The business evolved further as the flooring trade changed adding new products such as Laminate and luxury Vinyl. Peter Hall Flooring moved to its current showroom in Wickham Market in 2004.
The Autumn of 2006 saw Kevin’s son Matthew join the business. Following in the footsteps of his father learning the trade as an apprentice fitter. Drawing on the experience available, he has become an integral part of the running of the business helping push the business forward to where it is today.

From Peter Hall Floorings’ first shop in 1959 to our current showroom today we have worked hard to offer the best products and service possible. Making a point of employing local people, we strive to create a friendly, family feel to our customers experience while offering employment in the local community.
Our Wickham Market showroom has predominantly serviced the immediate area from Woodbridge, Aldeburgh, Ipswich, Framlingham and everywhere in between. However, we often travel further with regular visits into London and have ventured as far north as Northumberland and recently crossed the channel to the south of France.
Having celebrated our 60th year of trading we will continue to work hard and hope to see you at some point in our next 60 years.
