Professional welcome mat recess installation across Crediton and Devon. Create a flush, professional entrance by recessing mats into the floor, eliminating trip hazards and keeping mats securely in place.
Mat recesses (also called mat wells) create a professional entrance while improving safety. By cutting a recess into the floor, entrance mats sit flush with the surface rather than creating a trip hazard.
This is standard in commercial buildings but increasingly popular in homes, especially for elderly residents or high-traffic entrances. The mat stays in place, looks neater, and prevents trips.

We create the recess to match your chosen mat dimensions, ensuring a perfect fit. The finish is neat and professional, with edges properly formed to prevent damage. For external entrances, we ensure proper drainage.

What to Expect
**1. Planning and measurement** We'll measure the mat you're using (or advise on sizing if you haven't purchased it yet). We'll check the floor construction and confirm the approach. External recesses need drainage consideration. **2. Cutting and forming the recess** We cut the recess using appropriate tools for your floor type, controlling dust where possible. The depth matches your mat thickness, and edges are formed neatly. This is the messy bit. **3. Fitting and finishing** We fit any edging strips if needed, test the mat fit, and clean up thoroughly. The mat should sit flush or very slightly recessed. For external locations, drainage is checked.

Good to Know
Mat recesses work brilliantly for elderly or mobility-impaired residents as they eliminate a common trip hazard. For external entrance areas, proper drainage is essential or the recess becomes a puddle. Internal recesses are simpler. The mat should be removable for cleaning - we don't permanently fix it in place.
Frequently Asked Questions about Welcome mat recess in Crediton
What is a welcome mat recess?
It's a recessed area cut into the floor at an entrance, allowing a mat to sit flush with the floor surface. This prevents the mat from being a trip hazard and stops it moving around. Common in commercial buildings, increasingly popular in homes.
How much does mat recess installation cost?
Most installations cost £85-£110 depending on floor type and size. This includes cutting the recess and fitting. The mat itself is additional. Concrete and tile floors take longer than timber.
What floor types can you create recesses in?
We can create mat recesses in timber floors, concrete, tile, and some stone floors. Each requires different techniques. Timber is quickest, concrete requires more work. We'll assess your floor type and confirm feasibility.
Do you supply the mat or just create the recess?
We typically create the recess to fit a mat you've chosen, as mat styles vary widely. We can advise on sizing and recommend suppliers, but you purchase the actual mat. This gives you complete control over appearance.
