Carpet Fitter

Hello

Could anyone recommend a good reasonably priced carpet fitter in the East Dulwich/Crystal Palace area please?

I have some Louis de Portere stripy carpet my friend very kindly gave me (very expensive I think) I need it fitting on the stairs and it seems to be causing a bit of a problem. I am waiting for one quote but I have a feeling it is going to be bonkers so just checking on here.

Many thanks for any advise

Nancy

helo Nancy? likewise, same situation : I phoned around and always the same story - supply and fit. I had one carpet fitter recommended, could only come Saturday morning and his price was absurdly expensive so I declined. I did not however go as far as Crystal Palace although we did have dealings with a place in Sydenham...


In the end, with much huffing and puffing and help, I did it myself, although stairs would be more difficult obviously.

I am sorry this is not positively helpful, and I see you have not had any recommendations on here, but would suggest going further afield, good luck

Hello Moondancer,

Sorry for my delay in replying (I have been crazy busy at work) and thank you for your reply to me.

Well the first quote came in at ?400, which I thought it would be (and after I proved the carpet had been bought at their shop, Lordship Lane Carpets.)

I am trying to save money so I thought this was much too high, though they did arrive promptly and were very polite.

Anyway I found a company called Cavendish de Vere and a lovely man called Rob ([email protected]) They came round, measured the stairs and quoted ?175 plus VAT, which is great and they are coming on Friday to fit everything.

Sadly I think if I attempted to fit my own carpets I would de-value the house considerably.

I will let you know how it goes but so far I am more than happy with their service.

Nancy

    • I’m in exactly the same position.  They badgered me for ages to have a water meter fitted.  I’d prevaricated simply because it’s so tedious dealing with these people but eventually gave in when the communications became increasingly frequent and aggressive and it was done in March 2023. I just assumed I’d then be charged on actual consumption but I received an email this morning with details of the latest price increase and it said, “Since your property doesn’t have a water meter, your bill is calculated in advance based on fixed rates rather than water usage”.  I’m sure they’ve realised I’d be paying much less if they billed me on actual consumption but have not gone out of their way to inform me.  Trawling through their website, for me anyway, is an unutterably tedious chore, but I think I’ll now have to work up the energy over the weekend to pick up the phone on Monday morning and have a word with them.  
    • Great Service again from Andy.  Contacted him with a couple of issues with toilet cistern and shower.  He came over and sorted it all out quickly. Good advice given, reasonable charge for the jobs.  Highly recommend Andy!   
    • Just seen this.  Your post was a bit unnecessary.  I was simply responding to the previous post that children should be cycling on the pavement. But as you say I know shed loads about transport.  Not to the depths that some go down to the minutia.  Some call me the space cowboy.  Some call me the gangster of love.  I think of myself as the people's poet.  You have to laugh at yourself. Echoing what DKH said, we weren't there, you don't know the parent was making a snide remark, My favourite Dulwich parent story was a few years ago were friends when we were in the Herne garden a few years ago, who let their children run riot.  Bless.  One decided to turn the hose on spraying some poor drinkers.  Now most of us would be mortified, but the friends welcomed their child's creativity.
