Rubber Matting Rolls — Cut to Size, Less Than 10 Metres UK
Need rubber matting by the metre rather than a full roll? Our cut-length rubber matting rolls let you order exactly the amount you need — from 0.5 metres up to 9.9 metres — without paying for material you won't use. Ideal for runners, aisles, workshop areas, stable passages, and any application where a full 10m or 20m roll is excessive.
Why Buy Cut-Length Rubber Matting?
- No waste — order precisely the length your project requires
- Free UK delivery — cut lengths ship on the same free delivery service as full rolls
- Same quality — cut from the same rolls as our full-length products, all made from virgin or premium recycled SBR rubber compound
- Fast despatch — most cut lengths despatched within 24–48 hours of order
- Cost effective for small projects — you pay for what you need, not for roll minimums
- Easy to handle — shorter lengths are lighter and easier to manoeuvre in tight spaces, vans, and stairwells

How to Order Cut-Length Rubber Matting
- Measure your space: Measure the length required in metres. Add 50–100mm to account for trimming to final fit.
- Choose your compound and thickness: Use the compound guide above to select the right grade. If unsure, SBR heavy-duty ribbed is the best general-purpose choice.
- Add to basket: Select the cut-length product and enter your required length. Quantities are typically expressed as linear metres at the listed width.
- Delivery: Cut lengths are rolled and shipped on a next-day or 2-day courier service. Very long lengths (over 6m) may require a specialist pallet delivery.
Cutting Your Order to Final Size
Even cut-to-length orders may need final trimming on-site. Our complete rubber cutting guide covers everything from utility knife technique to using jigsaws and angle grinders for thick mats. For rolls up to 10mm, a sharp Stanley knife and straight edge is all you need.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the minimum cut length I can order?
Most rubber matting rolls can be ordered from as little as 0.5 linear metres (50cm). There is no minimum order value — you pay only for the length you need at the standard per-metre rate. Free UK delivery applies to all orders regardless of size.
Is cut-length rubber matting the same quality as full rolls?
Yes — cut-length matting is cut from the same rolls as our full-length products. There is no quality difference. The only distinction is length — a 3m cut is identical to the first 3 metres of a 10m roll from the same batch.
Do I pay more per metre for short cut lengths?
The per-metre price for cut lengths is the same as for full rolls in most cases. Some products offer a small volume discount for full rolls (10m+) but the cut-length price for shorter orders is competitive and reflects the convenience of not buying excess material.
How long does it take for cut-length rubber matting to arrive?
Orders placed before 12pm are typically despatched the same day and arrive on a next-day courier service. Orders placed after 12pm are usually despatched the following working day. Free 2-3 day delivery is available on all UK mainland orders.
Can I order a rubber matting runner in a specific width?
Roll widths are fixed by the manufacturing process — most rolls are 1.2m or 1.83m wide. If you need a narrower runner (e.g., 600mm wide for a corridor), you can cut the roll to width on-site using a sharp utility knife and straight edge. We can also supply rolls in narrower widths for specific applications — contact us for availability.
Is cut-length rubber suitable for outdoor use?
It depends on the compound. SBR rubber can tolerate occasional outdoor exposure but will degrade under prolonged UV exposure. For outdoor runners and entrance mats, specify EPDM compound which provides full UV and weather resistance. See our outdoor matting range for weather-resistant options.
Can I join two cut lengths together to make a longer mat?
Rubber matting sections can be butted together and held in place by their own weight, or joined using rubber-to-rubber contact adhesive. For a clean, permanent seam, apply contact adhesive to both edges, allow to tack off, then press together firmly and roll with a seam roller. The seam will be visible but structurally sound.
What is the maximum length I can order as a cut length?
This collection covers orders up to 9.9 metres. For full 10-metre or 20-metre rolls, visit our rubber matting rolls collection. For very long continuous lengths (over 20m) for corridor projects or horse arenas, contact us for a project quote.
June 2026: Trade Buyer Guide — Ordering Cut-Length Rubber Matting at Scale
For trade buyers, property managers, and facilities teams ordering multiple cut lengths across several sites, here's how to streamline the process:
- Consolidate orders: Grouping multiple site orders into a single purchase reduces per-order delivery costs and often qualifies for trade volume pricing.
- Request cut lists: When ordering for multiple rooms or locations, prepare a cut list (compound, thickness, width, length, quantity per location) before ordering. This prevents measurement errors and return trips.
- Allow for waste: Add 5–10% to each cut length for trimming, waste, and fitting around obstacles. It is far cheaper to trim excess than to reorder and wait for a second delivery.
- Consider roll format for high-volume sites: If a single location needs more than 10 linear metres of the same product, a full roll is usually more economical. Full 10m and 20m rolls are available in our rubber matting rolls collection.
- Specify width upfront: Standard roll widths are 1.2m, 1.5m, and 1.83m. If you need a narrower runner, confirm available widths before ordering to avoid on-site cutting waste.
Can I return unused cut-length rubber matting?
Cut-to-length rubber matting is a custom-cut product and is generally non-returnable once cut — it cannot be resold as a standard length. The exception is if the product is defective or the wrong specification was supplied in error. To avoid ordering the wrong amount, always measure twice and add a 10% cutting allowance. If uncertain, contact us before ordering — our team can advise on quantities for common applications.
Is there a price break for larger cut-length orders?
Volume pricing is available for orders above certain thresholds (typically 20m+ of the same compound and thickness). Contact us with your requirement and we will provide a project quotation. Trade accounts are available for contractors and facilities managers who order regularly — trade account holders receive priority despatch and preferential per-metre pricing.
