Report
Chris and the team at Floors for Throughout were absolutely superb throughout. We had an initial Zoom consultation which worked really well and Chris gave us some great ideas for a new wooden floor. He was able to match wood colours to our walls which was really useful to see and gave us a better idea of the end result. Fitting was excellently and professionally carried out in the time discussed and on time. Great service and value for money. Thank you.

Report
We bought our carpet at Floors for Thought at the end of 2020 for installation in 2021. Paul, Chris and Vania were amazing to help in the store, and got us a sample ordered quickly. Due to Brexit, they pro-actively shared they might not be able to deliver the carpet chosen for our original install date in January, and offered to upgrade us to a more expensive version at the same cost to assure delivery.
They even drove - due to lockdown - to our house to show us the alternate carpet. Unfortunately, due to the same lockdown, we had to move our install date three times and every time they were understanding

Very positive.
Needed to replace a carpet due to a leak from the flat above, they managed the process very well remotely during a lockdown. Will use again.

Simon and his staff advised us on new carpet for our stairs and landing. It was fitted within a few days and we liked their suggestion so much we had our lounge done too. Nice people to deal with and the fitters arrived on time and did a great job. We thoroughly recommend this company.
