Ripped off by Carpet Right Aintree. Came to measure 2 steps and told me I needed 11 square meters, I queried this as there is only 2 steps this sounded a lot, the girl told me steps are awkward.They took my money £450. Four other carpet companies confirmed there was only 6 square meters they ripped me off. I asked about a high pile carpet Alabama if this was hardwearing they told me yes of course, happily took £585 from my account. I since established this is not hard wearing and will look like a rag in a short time. I have not had either carpets delivered and they refuse to refund my money

This morning I went into the Trowbridge branch. There were 3 assistants at desks spread around the store. I was TOTALLY IGNORED. The assistants were chatting between themselves and one was fiddling with his phone. Nobody had the manners to say good morning to me. I was looking for carpeting for my hall stairs and landing and I would have asked for advice on suitability for the stairs and for wool content. I didn’t feel like asking for advice if they couldn’t be bothered with me. Appalling customer service. I shall go elsewhere.

Great carpet, great salesperson who understood my requirements perfectly. showed me the proposed layout, which had a butt join in our passage exactly coinciding with a kitchen doorway (not an ideal situation) She readily agreed an alternative plan. Also, because the same carpet is used in three rooms from the passage there would be no need for threshold strips there. She said no problem to any of these requirements. Then the cowboys arrived. I couldn't in all honesty call them carpet fitters as they didn't seem to know much about the subject. First comment: "You haven't ordered enough threshold strips" I explained why I didn't need them where color is continuous. He simply said "Can't do that". When I asked why He said "Just can't". (Look on YouTube and you will find professional fitters doing just that) Okay then, just refit the old ones where necessary. I Then found that he had put the passageway butt joint in front of the kitchen as per the original obsolete scheme. He tried to wriggle out of this by saying there wasn't any carpet left over to do this. I then pointed out a piece which exactly fulfilled the need, (I know about things like direction of nap and light) which he then did, but this time introducing a slack ripple in the hallway. At the end he had the audacity to warn me that there was now an excessively large gap under a bedroom door. This would not have happened had he not insisted on the unnecessary threshold strip. Okay, all this happened six years ago, but I still have to live with the consequences. daily.

Very bad experience! We visit their store in Glasgow Great Western Road, Debbie help us to choose a carpet for our bedroom. 1.we doublechecked with her if the total quote including the fitting and she firmly said yes, but when you place your order and received email afterward, actually there is extra fitting charge. 2. she firmly said the carpet is right fit in our bedroom but today, after two man put the carpet on, now our room door cannot close and open , and most importantly, they said they can not do the door cutting, ask me to sort this out by myself :( 3. their manager will ask you to give Debbie good review when you are not finished visiting the store, which was not comfortable and you can think why they got good review. 4. you can complain this to their customer service, they promise they will look at this, and then nothing happen. not helpful! AVOID IT

We spent over 1.5k for our flooring and underlay. Halfway through laying out luxury viynl, we notive it was peeling and bending up. After following the installation instructions to a T, we read we had to stop installation as soon as a problem occurs, which we did. We informed carpetright of the issue and after nearly half a year battle, which included going through a small claims court. We still weren't issued a refund!!! The reason was "the manufacturer said there was no issues". We had such a stressful experience, with staff not ringing us back, staff leaving the company or just plain rude. Do not use this company, if you have an issue with the product you'll be stuck with a poor quality product and out of pocket. Avoid at all costs!!

Avoid at all cost. Fitted wrong colour flooring and forgot the beading. Waited a couple of months for both and then fitted the wrong colour beading. Been waiting four months for the correct beading colour and still nothing. Fitters never show up and no one phones to say why.

Faulty mattress: Carpetright deleted my posts on Facebook and blocked me on Twitter (Very childish) FACT: You might want to think twice about spending your hard earned money at Carpetright who, by the way, are not keen to admit their mistakes and take badly to negative feedback. FACT: I have spent £1000’s (genuinely) on flooring, carpets and a bed/mattress at the Carpetright store, Newport Road, Cardiff. FACT: They sell me a memory foam mattress costing hundreds (well over £1200 with the bed) & fail to tell us at the time of purchase that it needs turning every month although Mohammad (apologies if I have spelt your name wrong) the store manager will say, “Well it’s written somewhere or it should be”. Since being told this, research suggests that the mattress doesn’t need to be turned, it just needs to be rotated from time to time (no specifics shown). Had I known this, we would have done it. FACT: Mattress is now faulty with dips on each side (I have photo evidence but cannot upload here) and they refuse to change it after 14 months even though it’s guaranteed for ten years and it's taken over three months to get this far. FACT: When I first reported the issue with the mattress, I personally handed in a document together with images to a female member of staff. Guess what? They lost it, strange, but very true. FACT: I was requested to send in multiple emails during this process, then more information which became so repetitive that in the end, I said send a service manager from the mattress manufacturer. FACT: When a service manager from the manufacturer called to our home to inspect the mattress, he said he was going to contact the Carpetright branch to advise them he had called and a report would be submitted to them. FACT: After 17 days of waiting for the report, I contacted the Cardiff branch to ask what is happening. Mohammad says, “We were waiting for you to contact us and tell us the service manager had been” (really? It’s for me to contact you?) FACT: He told me I was one of five complaints being dealt with and that he would check where mine was. FACT: Mohammad called me back the following day and after waffling back and forth, I gave up as all I wanted was for the faulty mattress, through no fault of our own to be replaced. No chance and no apology from the branch. FACT: I contacted Nick Worthington direct who is the Managing Director of Carpetright who passed my complaint to one of his colleagues. No luck with that either, just not interested (they’ve had my money so who cares). FACT: I wouldn’t post any untruths on here, so beware if you looking to spend £1000’s and something goes wrong, you may not receive the after sales service you expected. ABSOLUTE FACT: Carpetright, you should be ashamed of yourselves, disgraceful service, childish behaviour removing my posts on Facebook, blocking me on Twitter, you clearly don’t like negative feedback and you delete it and block me - Very childish and unprofessional on your part. REQUEST: Please consider my truthful feedback and change my mattress or don’t expect me to ever set foot into any Carpetright Store again. Date of experience: November 2022, enquiry closed by Carpetright 6th March 2023

I purchased laminate for our kitchen floor from the Torquay branch. The laminate price was good and the salesman,Darren, very helpful. The fitter was excellent and we were pleased with the result. However, I had to return some items to the shop which were surplus to our requirements - beading, underfelt and profile to obtain a refund(having been told previously that I could do this.) On the day I returned these items I spoke to another salesman. This salesman was abrupt and rude and questioned my right to return the items and questioned who had told me that I could return them. His attitude was poor and he could not have been more unhelpful. For the benefit of any Carpetright customer service staff who may read review this, the salesman’s name begins with S. Fortunately, Darren the salesman who I had purchased the laminate from appeared and the matter was easily resolved. But the incident left a bad taste on what was otherwise a good experience. My rating for salesman S is 1. Poor and 4. Good for the others

I had a carpet fitted on my landiing and stairs 6 years ago The carpet had been fitted incorrectly, with the stair carpet being cut in strips and not fitting the full lenght of the stairs. I was walking down the stairs and on the third to bottom step where the carpet was pieced my foot went forward and my back and neck hit the stairs behind me i couldnt move. An ambulance had to be called and i was stretchered to hospital and was told i had a disc problem i was off work for five weeks. I didnt make a claim because a friend who worked for carpet right gave me family discount,what a mug i was. Three months later i started getting neck pain, i had an Mri scan to be told c5 to c6 disc in my neck was damaged and had to have an operation to replace the disc with bone. After having the operation i am still feeling discomfort in my neck and back. My advise is if you do get a cowboy fitter employed by carpet right dont be a mug like me and not claim through loyalty , put a claim in stright away its ruined my working life

Absolute disaster, will never use again. Firstly we got someone in from carpetright to do the measurements, he missed a 1.5mx1m alcove in our bedroom, the fitters turned up and said they have enough carpet but not as 1 piece, we now have a line where the room meets the alcove as the fitters said the store would need to order again and couldn't say when/if it would be available, also once it was down we had accepted it. Secondly when the fitters turned up they were 11 square metres short of laminate which they only realised when they got low and had to rush off halfway through after a lot of calling around stores trying to source the required laminate flooring to match as the salesman hadn't ordered enough. They disappeared for 2 hours and returned to finish it thankfully with enough boards. Finally the fitter presented us with a bill for just under 960 pounds when we thought we had already paid for fitting, being a contractor I couldn't not pay them as it's their livelihood but it now means we can't afford our mortgage payment this month and will have to borrow off family to meet it. I can't fault the fitters in this, they were brilliant. Kept me informed during the install, did a pre visit and told us what prep we needed to do, they were great.(if you live in the High Wycombe area and get Sukhdip Singh him and his team are brilliant) Such a shame Carpetright can't match their service!

Carpet fit badly. Carpet fitters said they hadn't noticed the flaw in the carpet until I pointed it out to them. Shocking - I spotted it in seconds! Weeks later I am still waiting for the carpet to be removed and replaced. Their excuse was they had to wait for permission to reorder it even though they visited and apologised for the flaw and the poor fit. Its currently a tripping hazard for my grandson. Rang yesterday - they said they would now reorder the carpet and it will be another week or two on top IF its in stock. We feel totally helpless, upset and frustrated and will never use this company ever again.

I see I have to put at least one star. Would have prefered zero. Stair carpet very badly fitted. Self employed fitters can't be bothered to spend the time to do the job properly. They argued with each other. We were asked to pay as they we were leaving. We had to pay into his girlfriend's private account! So unprofessional! Carpetright now battling with us and unproductive communication. Dreadful
