Hurren and Glynn replaced all my carpets last Friday. The carpet I chose was a plain wool mix (Cosmopolitan Twist) with new underlay. Prior to placing the order, I did a comparison of their quotation with a well-known national company and I was satisfied that their quotation was competitive.
Having had the works completed, I am absolutely delighted with what was done. The fitters were very careful regarding Covid as well as being courteous and allowing me to discuss the works prior to starting. They took their time with the tricky items and asked me to inspect the works once completed. They left

This firm has the largest choice of floor coverings of anywhere else I know and the service is excellent. I have been buying carpets here for many years and the quality of the carpets and the fitting experiences have always been excellent. Lovely new one laid two days ago, thoroughly recommend, what more can I say?
