Have you got an unresolved dispute concerning a carpet?
Is the carpet in the Southwest of England?
...you've come to the right place.

Carpet usually represents a large financial investment. In a home this can mean quite large sums of money, in a commercial facility it can be colossal! Fitting new carpets also involves a lot of time, disruption and perhaps emotional energy to get it to the point where it is down on the floor. It's no wonder then that when there is a problem with the carpet after all that time, money, hassle and effort the end-user can become highly frustrated. This is exacerbated when it takes a long time to resolve and made even worse when everyone involved seems to be dodging the blame and not being clear when communicating. Handling disputes like this can also be a time-consuming. The best resolution for all concerned is to bring a dispute to a speedy conclusion.

If you are a consumer, or representing an end-user, you may have arrived at this web site after weeks or months of unsuccessful negotiations with the supplier/installer of your carpeting. You may have received a verdict from a representative of the manufacturer that you find unacceptable. You might be at your wits end! If the carpet in question is in the Southwest of England, then either call [new number to follow] or complete the contact form on this site and we'll give you some free advice about what options are open to you and the best course of action for you to take.
