Have had the whole house carpeted by Ashby Carpets. A highly professional process from start to finish. Chris and the team made sure that every option was discussed and offered flexible fitting days. Installation was done Mark Ashby and Kiren. They had to move lots of furniture but still managed to complete the job on-time to an exceptionally high standard. Overall a great family business with very high standards. visit the shop and get some Really good service.

Fantastic service. Carpets are top quality, and they were fitted quickly and cleanly in our three storey townhouse. Service was great from start to finish. So happy with my carpets and would highly recommend Ashby to everyone.

Over the last 10 months I have had Ashby Carpets in to put Karndean in the loft conversion and my dining room and hall. They have also fitted a runner on both sets of stairs, plus stair rods. I am very pleased with their workmanship, they are very polite and understanding, even put up with me Thank you
