One of the few shops that's closed on a Sunday, the Natural Flooring Co is a family-run business…read moreowned by Pete Davey and his son. As well as offering a wide range of natural and wool carpets, rugs, runners and wooden flooring, they also measure and fit floors. The natural flooring is naturally expensive but as Davey attests, it looks great, is more environmentally friendly and hard-wearing. At the moment, they have a selection of sisal, coir, seagrass and jute flooring but the stock changes constantly. For those looking for a small piece of flooring for a bathroom or single bedroom, they have a great selection of end of roll carpets and vinyl at the front of the store. These starts around £10 and go up to about £100 with the measurements clearly stated.

Barnard flooring recently replaced our hall and bedroom carpet. Paul came to measure up when it was…read moreconvenient to us and gave us what I would consider to be honest advice about the type of carpet we should have. Paul fitted the carpet when we could fit him in and I was very impressed with the overall service.

To say we are disappointed is an understatement.  Contrary to all the great reviews,  we had a…read moreterrible experience start to finish.  In the beginning,  two payments were taken instead of one but after  emailing, we were refunded. The wait was much longer than we were told but still we were patient.  When the shutters were fitted,  we noticed that the church window's top slat would not open and was permanently closed. We called and the fitter returned,  confirming it was faulty and that new shutters would be ordered. Weeks later, we were told that there was no fault and that we would have to put up with the shutters the way they were despite them reducing light coming in and the fact that it was permanently closed which did not look nice at all. I persisted and for the second time they agreed there was a fault.  A couple if days later, we were again told there was nothing that could be done. Rude and condescending people. Definitely would not recommend,  all is good until something goes wrong. Awful company, terrible customer service.

Strongly recommend these guys if you need wood shutters or wooden interior plantation shutters…read more They were fast, friendly and efficient plus their products were at least 30% cheaper than other companies we looked at. Although I live in London, they came up for an initial visit to measure our windows and provide a quote. We then were able to choose from a range of styles & colours, which they politely got us to change based on their assessment of our decor, the window and the setting. I must say their recommendations were spot on. The shutters were ready in 4 weeks, and fitted the following week. The products are good quality, being made from American Yellow Poplar and Elm rather than MDF.

Very mixed experience…read more Initially we were very impressed with Rob's (Colour Republic) knowledge, recommendations and general guidance on our new kitchen. Colour Republic designed the kitchen and ordered the materials but as they were fully booked up for building work, we used a separate builder (again, very pleased with). All of this was very good and we would 100% recommend based on that experience ... ... However ... when it came to the end of the job and a few snagging problems (e.g. fridge/ freezer door handles too long so banging against walls), it was near impossible to get a response from Rob. Despite trying everything emailing, texting, phoning, leaving voicemails etc, I was only successful in getting a response once ... which was an apology for not responding due to a family grievance! It could be argued that the builders should not have fitted the handles although they fitted what was ordered. However, it was the complete lack of response and customer 'after care' that has left a nasty taste after what we thought was a good working relationship. In the end, we simply gave up trying and still have handles that knock against a wall. If Rob wishes to come up with a solution for this we would still be happy to get this sorted and update the mixed review!
