Excellent service from start to finish. The staff were extremely knowledgeable and provided invaluable advice when assisting me to select the correct carpet. The service was efficient, flexible and friendly. The fitters were very clean and tidy. I absolutely love my new carpet. Will definitely be using Gainsborough again.

Report
Chris Connor. Gainsborough have been carpeting my home for many years. I would never go anywhere else and I would recommend to anyone who needs flooring or carpeting. Chris, their fitter, has just laid a carpet today - another perfect job. The service you get from Vicky, Eddy and their staff is excellent. I am almost sorry my house has now been carpeted but I know I will be made welcome if I just call in the showroom for a chat. Thank you all.
