I recently re-visited this little carpet shop in search of a rug. I've an issue with my new digs,…read morein that the house is lovely, but the carpets are really not all that pretty. Don't get me wrong, they're not complete eye-sores, but I feel if I could just get a little something cosy to cover up the ugly pattern life might be that little bit sweeter. It's not the be-all and end-all and yet it's something that keeps niggling away at me enough to force me to pursue this magic rug of joy. Anyway, I digress. The lady greeted me kindly as soon as I entered the shop and offered me help, to which I explained my problem. I said I could be convinced to go for a sheepskin rug, albeit they're a little expensive, but perhaps a patterned rug might be nicer. She said that they often get left over pieces from their carpet fittings, and so it would be no problem to convert a cut-off piece into a rug, should that be suitable. I had a quick nosy round, as we didn't have long, and again was impressed with the variety of carpets available. I'm certainly considering coming back to have a proper look around and see if they have anything suitable, but the sheepskin rug option is looking ever more tempting in this cold weather!

After I had already got two plain carpets supplied from Stonegate Carpets I was most confident that…read moreI could start a more elaborate project. I had the idea of a patterned carpet with a traditional border and a plain carpet around. Despite the issue with the distance and the need to have a local carpet fitter to deal with a carpet that anotherone had prepared. I was curious about how this would turn out. Richard and Colin were most helpful. Samples were sent, ample information provided, drawings and photos exchanged. As Brinton's have drastically altered their range Colin had to combine elements of his ample remnant stock (Thank you!) with others from another supplier (Ulster). It is the knowledge of an experienced team that counts here. The carpet was completely customised in the Stonegate Carpet workshop, very well wrapped and finally sent within schedule my house. I am so happy to have found this family run business with its most experienced team. Give it a try and you will definitely not regret it.

It's always a difficult choice to downgrade a place, but we had a few issues with L&S so I thought…read moreI'd give a bit of an overdue update. During the course of the year of moving in, I had to get a new contract with these chaps due to a break up, and of course wanted it all sorted swiftly and easily. It was tricky and lengthy to get new contracts set up, which became quite frustrating, but it seemed as though a switch in office staff was largely the problem -the lady who'd been working on our forms seemed to have left so there was no record, the day we visited in person was the final day for another lady (who did her best to help) and one of the office juniors (I think) seemed a little lack lustre/confused so it wasn't an easy task. Our situation was a little more unique, as the landlady wanted to manage the property herself, so there was sometimes confusion as to how to get problems sorted. However, when we needed a cooker replacing and other bits L&S were more swift to act and have the landlady sort it, which is important when you're getting really fed up of eating take away. Although we'd have preferred a little more action from these guys, in hindsight when you're with a truly awful letting agent, you realise how good it is to have items dealt with, within weeks! Finally, the leaving process was really simple, for which I'm hugely grateful. We cleaned the house top to bottom, even washing the carpets, and I prayed to get my bond back. I've had issues with plenty of estate agents, and was dreading having to fight for my money. Not at all -there was a small charge, which seemed totally reasonable as it was for unpaid admin fees, and I received almost the entirety back within a week of the final phone call. Plus, the lady who dealt with the accounts (whom I'd phone many times to pay rent) offered excellent customer service, was always absolutely cheery and bid me good luck in my new home, and happy new year! A really positive end to a slightly up-and-down experience, but I'd not avoid them in the future. All in all, I'd recommend, especially since there are FAR worse out there.

This is the worst letting agency I ever talked to. I called them to book to view two flats, I…read morecalled several times but didn't get thought. Finally when I got to talk to one lady, she took every detail of me (for their marketing purposes) but didn't do anything which would help mine booking (e.g., which flats I would like to view and when). She even complained about my accent (I've been living in the south for so many years and no one said my accent is a problem for understanding over the phone). This is very unprofessional, I would never recommend this agency to anyone.
