Its dead tempting isn't it to think that the big carpet shops who are on big out-of-town retail…read moreparks, have all the best stock at all the best prices? Well not so. This place is a family run firm who can compete on price with the biggest carpet retailers. But the real plus point with these chaps is that they use their own fitters and they'll obviously be able to help with technical stuff given their expertise. They have a fabulous local reputation and its well deserved in my opinion. They also have a good sized carpark which isn't obvious from the street but worth knowing about.

They sell everything you can think of that's remotely hardware-ish and although the prices are more than, say, the supermarket, they're dead handy so you don't mind. They're reliably open, they have a lot of staff so can always serve you and advise you. They don't mind you bobbing in just for advice, even when you don't buy anything. There's usually some kind of parking along the nearby streets so that's not a problem. There's a reassuring smell of hardware-shop-timber when you walk in - its defintely a man's domain! Lovely.
