Report
For many years I have traded with KC and because they were local I suppose they were OK. Came across Ideal Flooring and these lads we outstanding, nothing was too much trouble their fitting was great, they were polite and got on with the job in hand and have to say I was highly delighted with the results, I now have two bedrooms that look great. I am going back shortly for the hall carpet to be fitted, at these prices it would be rude not to. Thanks Kevin and Callum for everything. I have just had my Hallway done by these lads (07/07/2021) and to say I'm impressed would be an understatement,

Fast delivery and fitting . My daughter is really please with her " super soft on her toes" carpet and I'm really happy with the price and the service I received .
