unhappy with Lordship Lane carpets

We needed new floor throughout in a small flat in a 1930s block. We pent ages considering the options. Eventually we went to Lordship Lane carpets because they had given us good advice many years ago. They proposed Marmoleum for us this time, and they explained why and what the issues were really clearly. They fitted it while we were away, overcoming the horrendous job of moving furniture around etc. etc. Then, when soon after fitting problems arose that were nothing to do with them (damp, condensation etc) they were quite extraordinarily quick, efficient and effective about putting it right. If you ever need a case to demonstrate why using a local supplier and fitter ends up being more economical and more effective than using the internet and non specialist fitters, this is it. We cannot recommend them more highly. We got a clear sense that they felt responsibility towards us their customers. Fantastic.

I was recommended EJ carpets Forest Hill by the EDF after I was quoted ?75 and ?110 per metre for a stair runner by Lordship Lane without cost of underlay and fitting. Since I needed around 14 metres it was above my price range.

EJ carpets supplied carpet, underlay and labour for less that I would have paid at LL carpets

Alsekers...how come you are resurrecting old threads on this (and only this) subject?

As you have though, while I couldn't be bothered at the time, at the start of Dec, on two occasions I tried to get a certain floor covering from LLC. My second visit was to go back in with my tablet to demonstrate online and with a sample sent from the manufacturer in my hand, that a product they completely denied existed, did in fact exist.

Then they made a quick call to their supplier. 'Nah, can't get it love' at which point they struck up a conversation between themselves while I stood there open mouthed waiting for someone to maybe offer me some alternative solutions. After a few awkward minutes of being ignored I took my business elsewhere.

When I first went in with my wife their initial service was pretty dreadful and curlykaren's experience doesn't surprise me, but it's worth perservering as we've just had our house re-carpeted using LLC and they were really helpful during the process and have done a great job with the fitting.

The service I received today in Lordship Lanes carpets was absolutely awful. It is possibly the most pretentious place in all of East Dulwich. The shop worker could not be bothered to leave his office to come and help me with their stock (even after I asked for help). Couldn't see prices anywhere (usually a bad sign). Told the man our budget and he said to me 'this is dulwich. You're not our target market'. Had FAR better service from EJ carpets and also from CarpetRight. Even if I had seen carpet I liked there the service would put me off buying from this place. To quote another thread - how does this place stay in business?

We had our carpet and marmoleum fitted by lordship lane carpets and we found them fantastic, the guy in the shop gave us really good advice and took time to suggest alternative carpet options within our budget-which wasn't huge btw.

I can't believe that the above posts are about the same company that we used and would happily use again.

As for carpet right? its like comparing Primark with Chanel.

Regarding the comments about Chanel and Primark - I would expect to receive good customer service at either. The amount you are spending should be irrelevant. I suppose you could make the argument that since Chanel stand to net a bigger was of cash from you they should be even more solicitous - but Lordship Lane Carpets certainly doesn't adhere to that maxim.

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
