Could not be happier with their whole service. Pierre quickly measured up and followed by a prompt quotation which was 800 cheaper than the previous one. A fitting date was quickly arranged with Richard and his assistant laminating and Glen and his assistant taking care of the carpet fitting. Completed after two days meaning very happy customers. Oh and the carpets great quality. Strongly recommended.

Needed carpet quickly and big name suppliers couldn't deliver before about 4 or 5 weeks. I went to City Carpets in Chelmsford and carpet was down in 10 days. Great job by fitters Glen and colleague. The carpet with a 10mm underlay gives a lovely soft feel. Excellent service and product.
