Highly recommended carpet fitter - Jim Cox

Recommended Posts

I read several recommendations on the forum for Jim Cox, carpet fitter. I called and can see why, Jim is reliable, friendly, reasonably priced and did a fantastic job on our bedroom carpet. He went out of his way to drive to Dartford to collect the carpet as the supplier was being a little slow and fit us in at short notice! Thanks Jim! 07901834901
I'm sure I am going to get slated for this, but my experience with Jim was far from positive. To cut a long story short, he tried to rip me off for the carpet. He gave me some samples but after some research I found that he was vastly marking up the prices on the carpet, despite telling me he was basically providing it for cost price (when I initially called him, I told him I was sourcing carpet separately but he basically insisted on 'doing all of that for me'). I didn't use him so can't speak for his quality of work, which no doubt is decent.

I have only good things to say about Jim. He fitted carpet in the top two floors of our house this week and did a fantastic job. He was competitively priced, thorough but with a nice easy going manner, and generally really pleasant to have around. Incidentally, we found the carpet ourselves and he was more than happy to fit it. I never felt any pressure to go with something he could source. Overall, wouldn't hesitate to recommend him.

Jim recently fitted carpet on our staircase. It was complicated job as floorboards needed to be reinforced.

I delayed the job several times as our building work over ran and Jim was really understanding. Jim is a great guy, hard working and the job he did looks fantastic.

Highly recommended.

We had a very good experience using Jim Cox. He was happy to supply and fit, or just fit what we bought, made himself available when it was convenient for us, and ultimately did a great fitting job. He's also a very easy guy to deal with, friendly and straightforward.

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
