carpets
 

Hiya, i was wondering if someone can give me a bit of advice in where to find a cheap place for carpets, im in desperate need of changing mine as the one i got is turned horrible over the past year with my child and dog getting it all dirty, i have tried to clean it but im just fed up and im in need of a darker colour, anyone's advice?
thankshttp://www.accringtonweb.com/forum/i...ons/icon11.gif

Re: carpets
 

It always works out cheaper if you buy 'roll ends'. These are pieces which vary in size but you will rarely find one that is big enough for a room more than 13ft wide, which is the standard width for carpet rolls.
There are numerous places which sell roll ends locally.
Two I have used in the past-
Accrington Carpet & Bed centre on Blackburn Rd near Antley. I am not sure whether they are still in business because they had a bad fire less than a year ago (other forum members wil know)
John West carpets on Moscow Mill St opposite the Ossy Mills car park.
Both these have a carpet fitting service if you need it.

Winfields used to sell carpets but I have never bought there, may still sell them.
No doubt other member here will know of more retailers - you will be spoilt for choice :D

Accrington Carpet & Bed Centre reopened this week.

We used one near Asda, can't think of the name now. It's on Electricty St

Re: carpets
 

I have used Wests on Moscow Mill Street in the past.

I have also used Mears in Preston.

I would recommend both.

We have always used Wests on Moscow Mill Street, never had any problems and reasonably priced.

Re: carpets
 

All good advice Yolande .. lots of place, including the one down Victoria Street in Clayton .. 'Select Carpets' or summat.

I have learned over the years, having had dogs, budgies, cats, children .. gonna' pay a little more for wool, no dark ones ..yuk .. show every crumb dropped !

Wool will clean, particularly with a pattern .. no plain please. Heard lots of people state that they don't want to pay a lot 'cause they have above mentioned creatures living in their house .. :D, but worth it in the end ..no polypropolenes (new buzz description for synthetic carpets).

Sure you will be able to pick up a good bargain .. but go for wool mix please.

Re: carpets
 

I've used Wests in the past and they are all that you say. I went elsewhere due to one thing. Last time I nearly had to start arguing with the fitters to take the old carpets away. Wests most likely contract out the carpet fitting ( like everyone else ) I just dint need the hassle tho. :)

Re: carpets
 

some good advice there yolanda, would suggest you give the "retail parks" a miss, have used differant ones twice in 30 odd yrs, both times was Not satisfied,never had a complaint with those mentioned.;)

Re: carpets
 

thank you very much to all for your advice, it is much aprecciated, i have taken notes of all the places and i would be ringing tomorrow to get quotes and see wich one is best.
Thank you

Re: carpets
 

If you just ring up with your room size they are likely to quote you the 'off the roll' price. The roll ends are like remnants to a fabric shop - they aren't likely to know the price and size of them all for a phone call because every one is different in size, quality and price.
Better to go and look - and try bartering the price down :D

Re: carpets
 

Thank for the hint, i will be doing that hehehhttp://www.accringtonweb.com/forum/i...ons/icon12.gif

Re: carpets
 

Another good one to try is Archers Carpets on Belgarth Road in Accrington, very reasonable - they usually have a selection of roll ends too.
