Okay. We're Northern cheapskates, so have never bought proper carpets before - just roll ends etc. We moved house about 8 years ago and our new cream carpet that we bought for the lounge diner when we moved in (roll end, natch) is now absolutely gopping - we had a baby 4 years ago that we didn't plan for at the time.
So, we need a new one - and would like to do the hall, stairs & landing at the same time in the same carpet. Now up in the North East we've got Franks' Factory Flooring (catchphrase - 'I love carpets, me!') and they've quoted £1,500 fitted for 50m sq including underlay, grippers, joiny bits 'n that. It's an 80% wool twist pile carpet.
Is that a good price? I work for a car manufacturer so am used to car dealers having a minimum of a £1,500 profit in a 7k used car, so is there any wriggle room? Already tried all my best moves to chip him down etc, to pretty much no avail (came down £80...).
Thanks in advance,
C.
