I recently had a mat made from some spare carpet. These people are super helpful and friendly. There is a large selection of carpets on display. I prefer the local shop and service rather than the big chains.

I have been a customer for over 20 years and highly recommend E Owen and Sons. Both Ron and Mark are very knowledgeable and helpful. I have used them as a private customer as well as a contractor for our clients at Wills & Smerdon. A lovely family business.
