  • My girlfriend and I have been in our first house for just two weeks and we need to address the flooring.

    Its currently a knackered old carpet in a mustard to black around the edges which we want and need to address asap.

    End game plan is to get hard flooring in the hall and living room whilst the bedrooms (2) should be nicely carpeted. kitchen is a lovely classic black and white tile which splits the hall from the living room.

    CARPETS! where should one be going value & quality? and has anyone got any advice at all! I am really looking forward to all the projects ahead but i cant deny my complete lack of DIY knowledge/ skills does fill me with doubt and dread!

    thanks!

  • Can't answer your question, but there is a Home DIY thread that is full of great projects and DIY wisdom.

  • We got ours from Carpetright in one of their sales and got the builder's mate to fit it.

    Was a good price, delivered on time (or maybe picked up?), seems new still after a year, no complaints.

    Seem to remember hearing grumbling about their own fitters though, can't remember.

  • @markairsy1 we got new carpets from John Lewis and they price matched against other suppliers. Would recommend their fitters as well.

    Only thing I would suggest is do carpets last. If you have projects in mind you'll want carpets to be the last thing you do. New carpets + DIY (or tradesfolk) do not go well in my experience.
