Report
First class service, kitchen, stairs and landing and spare bedroom needed re doing, after speaking with Brian Steele we were given quality advice on the best flooring to have for the kitchen, stairs and landing as we have cats and they claw the stairs and spare room being used as a treatment room, very knowledgeable, knows his stuff, date set for fitting, Sean the fitter took half a day to to do the spare room, stairs and landing and put a levelling screed down in the kitchen, 2 days later he was back to finish the kitchen off, 3 hours tops and he was done, can i fault his work? No, extremely happy with the service from Bristol Carpets and the workmanship of the fitter Sean.

Had two bedroom carpets laid today. I'm very impressed with the very high standard and speed of the fitter. Quality carpets at great prices. Shall be returning for hallway and lounge carpets shortly. Highly recommended.
