I'm not penalising the carpet fitter rather the unrealistic quote that the Greyfriars gave for getting the job done. I'd expect a good professional company to know what they are selling and how to lay it and time to do so and charge accordingly. Which is the main issue.
In hindsight I should have bought the materials myself and got an independent to install for £450 which would have been a more realistic rate according to some fitters who have done rentals for me in the past. As Rudie111 says I failed to get a number of quotes but this is largely down to the various other carpet companies in Stafford/Cannock and Walsall I've used over the last few years providing good service and value for money, sadly not in this case.
