About JEM Carpets

Family run. Independently owned. Serving Scotland for over 34 years.

Founded in Larkhall, 1989 — Still Family Run Today

Our Story

Founded by John Marshall in 1989, Jem Carpets was built on a simple promise: to offer customers across Scotland outstanding quality flooring at genuinely affordable prices.

What began as a single showroom in Larkhall has grown into one of Scotland's most trusted independent flooring retailers. Today, with 7 stores across Glasgow, we're proud to help thousands of homeowners transform their homes every year.

Although we've grown, our values haven't changed. We're still a family-run business committed to honest pricing, expert advice and friendly, personal service. Whether you're updating one room or flooring your entire home, our experienced team is here to help you find the perfect solution.

By working directly with leading UK and European flooring manufacturers, we eliminate unnecessary middlemen and pass those savings directly to our customers. That means you'll find big-brand flooring, exceptional quality and prices that are hard to beat.

At Jem Carpets, we believe everyone deserves beautiful flooring without paying premium prices—and that's exactly what we've been delivering for over 35 years.
