UK's live marketplace for surplus carpet tiles
Hidden stock,
uncovered.
Over 100,000 sqm of boxed, unused carpet tiles sit idle across the UK right now — over-orders, spares, wrong-spec deliveries, dye-lot mismatches, manufacturer surplus. Fit for use. Usually thrown away. Carpet Unboxed makes it visible, searchable and saleable, before it's scrapped.

The problem
Good material, gone missing.
Surplus boxed carpet tiles accumulate for entirely ordinary reasons on every commercial flooring project in the country. Individually, these pockets of stock are small. Collectively, they're a large, continuously replenished pool of usable material with no route to market — so it ends up landfilled, incinerated, or dead stock on a shelf.
Over-orders
Installers and main contractors order a safety margin that's never used.
Spares
Client-held maintenance stock that turns out to be surplus to requirement.
Wrong specification
Correct brand and range, but the wrong colour, pattern or backing.
Wrong batch
Dye-lot mismatches that can't be used on the original job.
Manufacturer surplus
Discontinued lines, short-run overproduction and returns.
