“BE WARNED! The sales staff pressure you to sign the contract but do not tell you that there is no refund on any item even if they have not delivered it, not fully processed the payment and not cut the lino. If you contact Customer Services, they are not allowed to issue a refund even if there is an issue at the shop. You go to the shop and they blame the head office and the head office blame the shop. They do not supply the carpet within a reasonable time frame, the contract says "Time is not of the essence", and it really isn't. They will not issue a refund if they cannot supply in the time stated. It is no good contacting Customer Services as they are not allowed to issue refunds.”

“was told by surveyor that my floor was perfectly suitable for my vinyl but after fitting the vinyl was bumpy, complained and the fitters came back and blamed the floor said there was nothing they could do. Was not happy with this outcome contacted the store but they did not have the decency to even return my call. Do not buy from Carpetright as their customer service is very poor”

“POOR SERVICE. 8 Months and STILL waiting for the work to be completed. Ordered and paid for flooring in 4 bedrooms, landing and carpet on stair case. 8 months and still incomplete and my husband ringing several times again last week with out any response. 1. Wrong door bars 2. Not informed at time of purchase, the flooring was not in stock, warehouse, or in the county. 3 more than 3 months without carpet. 4. Order couldn't be found as saved in wrong name and address. 5. Payment due separately for carpet edging, 3 staff members didn't know , who or what it was for. 2 weeks for them to finally accept the money. 6. Wrongly advised as told cash only and the other staff confused and contraindicated each other. 7. Wrongly advised about my choice of carpet on stairs. 8. Still waiting for door bar 9. No correspondence from Huntingdon store in months My husband continuously chasing 10. Over heard manager instructing floor fitters, to just get in and out and dont highlight any issues even if floor is uneven . Poor service would never go back due to poor sales advice, poor management, lack of respect or common decency with no customer care. I would prefer to pay extra from another supplier with better management and customer service”

“I had vinyl fitted the day after I broke my leg. The flooring was laid from front of the house through the living room to back porch garden door. I had chosen this flooring with the “help” of the store manager as I wanted something hard wearing as have children and a pet. The fitters laid the flooring with a spray of glue. Moved the couches back into position. On their exit the disgarded the remaining materials at my back gate. Literally 20 mins after the fitters left, I began to put the rest of the furniture back in the living room. The flooring tore as I moved the TV stand. The fitters returned two days later. They lifted up the flooring as not completely stick down and basically made the patch worse. I pointed out that the feet in couches had gone through the vinyl, they were not interested. Their advise was to cover it over with more vinyl on top! The store manager was not helpful stating nothing wrong with vinyl, and that one cannot have heavy objects on it or moved on it. So why sell it to me for a living room????? I believe that had the flooring been laid with proper adhesive then it shouldn’t move or be able to lift up. I’m not an expert but it looks like Carpet Right aren’t either. I would definitely not recommend.”

“Unfortunately if I could give no stars I would. Absolutely awful service. Please see email below of the state my house has been left in and all my carpets are in complete. Plus door bars been put on wrong so now can't close them. Hello, Following the phone conversation with my partner Lauren Perry a moment ago, please find attached photographs of the carpet as left today by the fitters who have walked off the job saying that the stair runner has ben cut incorrectly by the previous carpet fitter and the general condition of the job that they have left us with - flappy carpets on stairs, bulges on the landing, general mess and a gap between the top step and the landing where the carpet doesn't connect to the carpet gripper and just flaps about as a trip hazard at the top of the stairs. We do reccoemend that someone from the store comes to see the shonkyness of the job and would apprecite it if this matter could be resolved as soon as possible as we have paid for this carpet up front and it is your store that has now sent us two carpet fitters who have not ben able to complete the job, both of the fitting teams sent have been very young and appear to be inexperienced at dealing with stairs in older properties. Todays lot were swearing alot and appear to have had some sort of falling out. It was very unprofessional and doesn't reflect very well on your company if these are the type of people you are using to fit carpets in clients homes. Thank you for looking into this matter. Kind regards, Philip.”

“Chaotic store in walton-on-thames, bad customer service, lack of follow up, customer services did not log my complaint as requested,, now back to them calling the store, we go round in circles to be told 'it will arrive this week', I am now without one pice of carpet for 3 months as it got lost while being repaired, prior to this half the carpet got lost. It is one year since I bought the carpet and I am still without a complete stair carpet. I will never use this company again, Absolutely terrible in every way.”

“I purchased a carpet with the help of the instore team, they were very helpful. The problem started when the fitters came to fit the carpet. The team fitted my carpet within 30 mins, it seemed like they were rushing. I have recently completely redecorated my room but I found scratch marks along my newly painted walls, and knife marks all along my skirting board on both sides of the room once my carpet was fitted. This is clearly where the team were rushing to fit the carpet, and cut the carpet to size but the tools used have left cuts in my newly painted skirting boards. The door had to be cut shorter to fit the new carpet (cost me another £25!) but they cut it wonky and they didn't fit the bottom bit back on the door, so the door is now weak and needs to be fixed. I contacted carpet right, they were not very helpful at all. I provided images of the damage and the only thing they could do was ask the fitter to contact me. I had no refund offered although i paid £560 for a lovely carpet, but to have to redecorate parts of my room which was NOT my plan. I don't expect to pay that much money for damage. The idea is to redecorate whilst you have an old carpet incase of spillage, NOT to redecorate AGAIN with a new carpet. Carpet right source this team who did not do a good job of fitting this carpet. Other local companies who we have used previously are much better. I am very disappointed in carpet right and will not be using their services again or recommending them.”

“I had a terrible experience purchasing my carpet with carpetright and would advise anyone considering them to rethink! I used them because I thought it would be easier with their fitting and installation service, however the carpet measurer took the measurements of 2 rooms incorrectly (2/3 rooms were incorrect) so after waiting 4 weeks for the carpet to arrive, it was the incorrect amount of carpet and the room couldn't be carpeted. I was meant to move in the week after but had to postpone this because one of the bedrooms had no floor. When they eventually replaced the carpet they were unapologetic and said I couldn't get a refund for the service and literally said they weren't sure what they had done wrong ! Never using again.”

“Very bad experience Very bad experience, ordered carpet for 4 bedrooms and landing, estimator came and he saw the rooms, we asked for room clearance service, and they accepted for an extra charge which we agreed to pay, and it is in the invoice, on the day of the fitting, they came and said the furniture are heavy and can`t remove it, and they left us in the mess, I contacted the store what is happening, they said there is no manager to solve the problem, and the fitters are gone to do another job, how come they have another job waiting for them when they are booked to fit our carpet, they come to my house at about 10:30 am, and left 11:00 am, I phoned the store at 12:00 they already have another job. They say to me will phone you back, no one calls back, I called the head office and again they said will call back and no one called back, I took a day off from work, my house in mess, because all the wardrobes are emptied, no one care about all this. Not the service you expect from a big company and big name like Carpetright.”

“The carpet fitter gouged into all of our built in furniture. Absolutely appalling workmanship. Carpetright deny any liability as it’s an arranged service rather than their employees. The arranged service marketing does however indicate a professional service. Had to pay for repair over £400. Seven months later and the fitter still owes me in excess of £300. Carpetright are unable to resolve despite their marketing collateral for the arrangement service stating financial stability checks along with the expected professionalism and quality checks. Absolutely useless service and not the promised ‘let us take the strain’ experience. I would recommend avoiding these cowboys.”

“Kids are all up and away so my wife and I treated ourselves to expensive carpets for our stairs, landing and bedroom, purchased from carpetright east kilbride, We were recommended a carpet called surprise 90, £38 a square yard, 12year guarrantee total cost £1500, hoping this is our last carpet, no kids and getting on Two month later the carpets look as if they have been down 10 years they are in a terrible condition, it looks as though twist in the twill has sore of unwound giving a fuzzy wool appearance, as if you'd constantly pushed the ball of your foot down into the carpet and twisted your foot for weeks on end, this carpet is finished. We contacted carpetright who asked for photos to pass them on to the manufacturers, who in return ignored their emails for months, despite fortnightly calls from us to ask for an update, we heard nothing in return. We have been over to carpetright in person twice since then again to hear nothing until the third visit where Martin the Manager said he would get back to us within the end of week, he did respond after another week by dictating the answer from the manufacturer stating, that this type of carpet is expected to appear like this, it appears there is no warranty no guarantee. All this from a photo no one from carpetright came out to view the carpet, no one from the manufacturer came out to view the carpet. After the cash has changed hands carpetright has no interest in even looking into a carpet issue you may have, we live 5 minutes from this store and during one call an employee remarked and I quote “ has no one came out from us to see the carpet” I find this remarkable uncaring pass the buck attitude deplorable and would ask you to think twice before entering into an agreement with this company as they do not care about you or your carpets just give me the money attatube.”

Hi Michelle, I am sorry to hear about the poor communication you have had from the store. In terms of the carpet itself the best thing to do now would be to seek an independent inspection. If they find a fault then we will be able to look at this again. Regards Dean

“Totally horrendous experience at Croydon Carpetright. Took our money said he would call on Wednesday to arrange measuring didn’t call a week later still nothing. They should not have asked for the full amount of the carpet without arranging an apt for someone to properly measure the carpet. Emailed them no answer. Called them and the guy literally laughed that we had paid already. I’ve cancelled the order and asked for a full refund. If this is not actioned I will be taking the matter further. I feel as though they literally took our money and ran.”

“Name and Shame Caerphilly Manager Shane Dalton for his stinking attitude towards my family this week. Family are moving from Newtown to Penyrheol Caerphilly and had the expense of traveling to arrange carpets and being let down...they have health problems hence moving closer to family. Not one bit of empathy in Shane Dalton on his visit.. no apology for his or his staff mess up of not logging in the diary. Shane also stated that he would ensure that head office WOULD NOT give compensation or good Will. Not happy and this guy is not fit to be a manager. Shocking.”

“I've spent three months trying to obtain a refund for an unused box of flooring. I've visited the store twice and still nothing. No one can help, they haven't even picked up the phone in the store for two weeks. I spoke to the manager who said he would call me back, that was in March. It's really terrible service, they don't even have any kind of escalation process to speak to a manager when you call the service center. This is pretty much the worst customer service I've ever experienced.”

“Absolute dreadful after sales service. Staff have no product knowledge, what so ever, my carpet certainly wasn't fit for a 4 bedroomed house, i was wrongly advised, and it should of been made clear that i was buying a cheap, thin, rubbish carpet, and that after 3 months would look like its been down for 5 years, plus!!!! Worst carpet i have ever purchased, thin, completely flat, pile nearly down to the bare and looks like one big mess, its all pressed together and after having the Manager out, he told me to rake it to bring the pile up???? The Manager took photos and told me he would get back in touch. Obviously he didn't, i had to chase him, only to be told my complaint had been rejected. They rejected it on the photos that the Manage had taken - quite incredible. So that's it, they wont rectify the fact that i was sold a carpet that i paid thousands for, its clearly not right, yet they stop there. Carpetright you should be so ashamed, not looking after your customers. Reading all the poor reviews you will soon realise, its not about just taking the money- after care service is just as important. I only wish i had read the reviews first!!!!!”

“Recently purchased a mattress which has not got the same comfort level as the one in showroom which is exactly why we bought that particular make and model .carpet right had the mattress tested at our home and surprise surprise they found nothing wrong with it.Although it qualifies for the 60night exchange guarantee this is not adequate when no other mattress feels suitable.we feel that we have been misled and sold a product that is not the same as the one advertised plus we had to purchase a over priced mattress protector to meet the guarantee conditions and have been refused a total refund .will not be shopping at carpet right in the future”

“Carpets ordered for a whole house refit at the end of last September. Two bedroom carpets were ordered in the wrong size but this was not found until fitting date in DECEMBER!! Carpets reordered but due to lack of fitters, fitting date moved to March. Day before fit received a phone call to say that carpets couldn't be found in the warehouse. Bedroom carpets have now been reordered 3 times. One has been laid but the other has still not arrived 6 months later. The worst of it is that nobody cares and can't explain why this has happened. Will now be requesting refund for missing carpet.”
