What a fantastic local company. We had various quote, from many different companies. A couple made us think that they were giving big discounts throwing in bits and bobs at no extra charge. However, all the quotes from all the companies were roughly the same. This company stood out, no messing around, lots of choice in carpets and flooring. Family run which appealed to us. My goodness what hard workers they were. Polite, on time each day, worked all day and made sure that the job was finished. Beautiful job. Clean and tidy ... no bits left behind.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. . Fantastic.

I cannot speak highly enough of the service from Colin and Matthew. They were superb from start to finish. Really helpful with suggestions for colours and types of carpet and endlessly patient whilst we chose. We have an old cottage and not one wall is straight. The stairs were a particular challenge as we chose a stripped carpet. They took a huge amount of time before cutting to ensure that the finished look would be right. Excellent eye for detail - which makes all the difference.
