“I contacted Garrie after contacting a few other carpet fitters to ask if they would do a refit for me and all who I contacted said no as it’s very hard to get the carpet to go back down correctly , I contacted Garrie and without any hesitation he said yes he did warn me that the carpet might not go down properly but as you can see from the photos he did an absolutely amazing job especially on the stairs and landing.He was very professional arrived on time , cleared away all the remnants and i honestly can not find one thing to complain about and I am very fussy there’s always something not right 🙈 I will be using G J Chapman for all carpet fittings from now on if i could give more stars I would .Thank you so much for your professional friendly service 🤩”
