Carpet Fitter

[smartypantsnancy]

Hello

Could anyone recommend a good reasonably priced carpet fitter in the East Dulwich/Crystal Palace area please?

I have some Louis de Portere stripy carpet my friend very kindly gave me (very expensive I think) I need it fitting on the stairs and it seems to be causing a bit of a problem. I am waiting for one quote but I have a feeling it is going to be bonkers so just checking on here.

Many thanks for any advise

Nancy

helo Nancy? likewise, same situation : I phoned around and always the same story - supply and fit. I had one carpet fitter recommended, could only come Saturday morning and his price was absurdly expensive so I declined. I did not however go as far as Crystal Palace although we did have dealings with a place in Sydenham...

In the end, with much huffing and puffing and help, I did it myself, although stairs would be more difficult obviously.

I am sorry this is not positively helpful, and I see you have not had any recommendations on here, but would suggest going further afield, good luck

Hello Moondancer,

Sorry for my delay in replying (I have been crazy busy at work) and thank you for your reply to me.

Well the first quote came in at ?400, which I thought it would be (and after I proved the carpet had been bought at their shop, Lordship Lane Carpets.)

I am trying to save money so I thought this was much too high, though they did arrive promptly and were very polite.

Anyway I found a company called Cavendish de Vere and a lovely man called Rob ([email protected]) They came round, measured the stairs and quoted ?175 plus VAT, which is great and they are coming on Friday to fit everything.

Sadly I think if I attempted to fit my own carpets I would de-value the house considerably.

I will let you know how it goes but so far I am more than happy with their service.

Nancy
