We recently teamed up with Tim Rocks of Rocks Property Restoration Ltd, one of Edinburgh's most respected flooring installers, for a video collaboration that takes you behind the scenes of what it's really like to work with us as a trade partner. If you're a contractor, installer, or property professional who hasn't opened a trade account yet, here's exactly what you're missing out on.

Who is Rocks Property Restoration?

Based in Edinburgh, Rocks Property Restoration Ltd has built a reputation for precision hardwood and laminate installation, with a portfolio that includes everything from herringbone living rooms to full staircase transformations. Tim and his team have worked with flooring sourced from The Wooden Floor Store on multiple projects, so when it came to talking trade accounts, we wanted someone who could speak from genuine experience rather than a script.

The three biggest benefits of a trade account

1. A dedicated account manager who knows your business

Trade accounts come with a named point of contact who understands your projects, your preferences, and your pace. Instead of starting from scratch every time you call or email, you're talking to someone who already knows what you typically order, what's worked well on past jobs, and can flag new ranges or stock updates that are actually relevant to you. It's the difference between being a transaction and being a partner.

2. Samples delivered to you or straight to your client

One of the most time-consuming parts of any flooring job is getting the right sample in front of a client before they commit. With a trade account, you're not stuck waiting around or making extra trips. We can send samples directly to your workshop, your site, or straight to your client's door, whichever speeds up your decision-making process. For installers juggling multiple jobs and clients at once, this alone can save hours every week.

3. Exclusive trade pricing

Trade account holders get access to pricing that isn't available to retail customers, helping protect your margins on every job. Whether you're quoting for a single room or a full new build, trade pricing means the numbers work better for you and, in turn, for your clients.

Why this matters for your business

For installers like Tim from Rocks Property Restoration, the combination of fast sample turnaround, a reliable point of contact, and competitive pricing means less admin and more time on the tools. It also means clients get a smoother experience, since you can move from sample to quote to installation without unnecessary delays.
