Another good shout - thanks. Will pop into some shops later today if I can find the time. If anyone's got recommendations in Hackney/Islington I'm all ears. I don't think I've ever been in a flooring shop...
As it’s a temporary job, I’d look for cheaper large retailers. Carpet Right or similar but, on occasion, you may hit lucky with local retailers. Try a few.
Lino/vinyl remnant from a shop?
