You get the choice and price you want, plus a local independent carpet fitter you can trust to do the job neatly.

Absolutely excellent job, very happy with the work he carried out. Arrived on time, didnt rush it, matched the lines up perfectly. He laid vinyl for us but he also does carpets too. Would highly recommend him.

Very happy with the flooring laid today in our garage. Despite it being muggy and humid, Garrie got the job done, well, and at a good price. It’s very well stuck down, and cut nicely around the awkward wobbly garage walls! Very friendly and was very accommodating when the flooring hadn’t arrived for the original fitting date. Would absolutely use again, thank you!

We had a tricky patterned carpet that needed laying on a curved stair and Garrie did an amazing job. He was so hard working, professional and want above and beyond to do a first class job. Would recommend him to anyone. So pleased to see a true professional at work in his industry.
