Had a couple of quotes for stairs and landing, Rob was professional, courteous and we had a lovely carpet well fitted for a reasonable price. Highly recommend.

Report
Would totally avoid doing business with these people. I met with Rob at my new property to get a quote he took the measurements of the house & said he would give a detailed quote via email. I never heard from him again & he ignored my calls and wasted an hour of my time on that day and a week of waiting as he said quote will be with me in the due course! Totally unprofessional firm would never recommend them!
