Buying a Carpet

Top Ten Tips

  1. Consider the room it is for – and how much wear it will receive. A hall, stairs and landing, for example, will need a heavier wearing carpet than a bedroom.
  2. Are there any particular fabrics or existing decor to be matched? What are your future decorating plans? Remember to choose the carpet first and install it last!
  3. Do you want a plain carpet, patterned carpet, and one with texture? You have a large choice so experiment with colour and design.
  4. How long do you reasonably expect your new carpet to last? Is it a ‘quick fix’ or a long term purchase?
  5. Most of our competitors will tell you that the carpet includes free fitting - We at Carpet Masters inform all customers that their total costs include fitting. This is a gimmick to attract customers.
  6. Get your room professionally measured - Some retail outlets insist on a deposit before coming out to measure. With our measuring system customers receive no charge and are under no obligation to purchase.
  7. Ask your retailer for a sample to take back home to see in your own environment and in your own natural light - We at Carpet Masters offer samples for your home selection.
  8. Buy new underlay – Our estimator will inspect your underlay for wear and quote you on new, but if he feels it is not required he will tell you so unlike many of our competitors.
  9. Carpet Fitting - Here at Carpet Masters we provide a professional fitting service as well as offering a take it away service.
  10. Buy the best carpet you can afford - People query felt back carpets. We believe this is the best thing to happen to carpets in recent years. It has the availability to be fitted on underlay or without to save you on cost of accessories.
