I have had lots of recommendations - and have a guy booked - will let you know how it turns out.

Sorry to hear of your news shoes.

We are having a fair bit of pretty crap news recently, but f**k it - its nothing a good bottle of gin can't make you forget for a while!

Hi speak65....did this go ahead? I'm looking to get new carpets in the near future and could do with some recommendations.

A friend had some carpets fitted about a year ago by a company who he thinks were called something like MMF....I can't find any reference to them on the internet...plenty of other search results though! ;)

He told me they were relatively cheap, really good at what they do and didn't hang about. Does anyone happen to know of this company?

Ta :)

Roy Horne fitted them and did a brilliant job - we have had him back for another job, and will have him back again soon.
Cant fault him.
Back in 5 with his phone number.

No recommendation is implied, as I have no direct experience of them, but they have built that operation up steadily over many years, which can be a good sign.

I've used MFC a lot and would definitely recommend getting a quote from them is you want carpets supplied and fitted.

Excellent - thanks folks. I would try Carpet Time but those adverts on Stafford FM have really put me off!

Adverts can have a negative response - does anybody remember the Renault 25 adverts with that awful woman - 'Oh, David, that's wonderful!' - I couldn't even accept a lift in one in a thunderstorm...

Absolutely. I've never heard anything negative about Carpet Time (or anything at all, for that matter), but even typing this my fists are clenching purely at the thought of those ads!

I will give them a call though...and maybe I'll be able to convince them to get the adverts changed!

I would recommend you be there and inspect before they leave.
