Old flooring removal
Reviews

Many reviewers of Carpetright in Guildford describe helpful, knowledgeable staff, with several naming Roshan, Dhanya, Sanchez and Shahzad as particularly good. Some customers report problems with fitting, including damage to flooring and cabinets, and poor follow-up on complaints. One reviewer said a fitted carpet was measured wrong and that the claimed stain-resistant warranty only applied with paid professional cleaning. Another reported missing underlay and grippers they had paid for, and a third described cancelled or failed fitting appointments. Several reviewers said they would not use the company again.
I had discussed this with the Guildford branch manager (Mr Roshan). He first showed interest and seemed to be following this up, but after several months and my follow-up, it has gone nowhere. The fitting team (Karn and his colleague) were very unfriendly, totally indelicate, and incapable of doing the job around the door frame corners. The rest of the LVT fitting is OK, but you can clearly see it is not what you expect from a seemingly quality brand like Carpetright and the price we paid. They even damaged the bottom of our base cabinet units in the kitchen. Mr Roshan, a few months ago, said that the fitters would contact us to compensate for the damage. But it did not happen at all. I am fully dissatisfied with the quality of the fitting job, how the company subcontracted fitting to low quality and totally unfriendly and not-customer-oriented fitters, and how the branch manager (Mr Roshan) managed the issue with only words and no action. I would never suggest anyone else to go with the Carpetright. Reply to your comment: Thank you. Yes, I already sent the complaint, but it seems they will transfer it again to the Store Manager. I have already been following the case with him for several months without any result! Update: After about two weeks of sending my formal complaint via email, no one has contacted me at all. It seems that the Store Manager at the Guildford branch cannot be of any help despite all my follow-ups in the last several months, which is truly disappointing for a company such as Carpetright Another update (May 2204) No one has contacted me regarding my complaint which I sent several months ago, this could show irresponsibility of the manager to deal with the issue and how "sybmolic" but not real is their complaint proccess.
Extremely disappointed. Have a join in the carpet where the measurements were wrong and was advised the carpet is stain resistant with a warranty for 10 years. Don't be fooled and ask for a copy of the warranty terms. Essentially it only kicks in if you pay to have your carpet professionally cleaned. In store we were advised the carpet would be replaced if we couldnt get a stain out ourselves. Formal complaint raised in January and still no response despite chasing. Complete con and customer service is shocking.
Great service
Knowledgeable and informative ... well done
Alex at Guildford was extremely helpful, and personable. I was very happy with the service he provided.
Smooth ordering process thanks particularly to the brilliant Sanchez in the Guildford Ladymede store. Not yet fitted so will update.
Great range to choose from. Very helpful and informative service from Roshan. Recommend
Thank you Miss Dhanya for help. Very good service.
Oh my goodness just been into carpetright Guildford and purchased a lounge carpet. The gentleman who helped us with our choice and recommendations was exceptionally helpful and gave us great advice. Will definitely recommend to anyone requiring new carpets. Many thanks to the gentleman in Guildford
Amazing exceptional service, especially from such a young lady. Was very helpful 🙂. Satchel is a valuable asset at Carpetright.
Sanchez was very knowledgeable and tried to help me her best. I will be contacting her with more details for a quote
Great service from Roshan - helpful and very knowledgeable
Very helpful and well trained service at the shop in Guildford. The lady who helped us, Dhanya, is very friendly and has a great attitude. She tried to answer all my questions and guided us properly so we could decide better and make the best choice.
Extremely helpful advice and a very friendly service.
Had a real mixed bag with them. Last time we used them, their fitters damaged our flooring in another room. To be fair the management here did sort our a replacement vinyl to be laid to the same pattern so at least it was resolved but hardly ideal as you can imagine. Prices are competitive but I would suggest only purchasing the material from here and getting your own fitter.
Sanches helped us,we are happy with her service
ROSHAN Very professional great customer service would highly recommend
Abbas helped massively in the hunt for our new carpet and provided a great insight on estimations! Thank you so much.
Very good lovely service
Good customer service, friendly staff. Looking forward to my flooring being delivered
Fantastic approach to purchasing a carpet, very friendly and helpful
Excellent service. Couldn’t fault Roshan, very knowledgable patient and pleased with the purchase.
Brilliant customer service. Thank you very much to the Guildford store. I really appreciate all your help.
Came to store today to settle on an insurance claim, so selecting carpets, underlay as well as uplift and fitting. Sanchez has been very knowledgeable and helpful in arranging everything and patient and polite dealing with our questions! Thank you
Dhanya was excellent, so helpful & great at her job. The shop was even dog friendly which was fantastic.
Excellent customer service always
We've purchased the Hoxton carpet from Carpetright Guildford through Shahzad and had it fitted yesterday. Generally very happy with result and overall Carpetright experience. Shahzad the manager was very helpful and gave advice patiently, even though we changed our minds a few times about what we wanted!
A positive experience and great product
Lovely patient Shahzad took time to work out which colours would best suit my room and to get the best price for me. Many thanks for your great customer service
Shahzad was very helpful and very knowledgeable. He went out of his way to help us and was very patient with us (as we changed our minds a lot!) Thank you so much! - Guildford store.
Really experienced salesman - makes a change!
Clean vranch and good staff
Very good staff and friendly. I got exactly what I was looking for.
I went in there to get a carpet and they were so helpful I came out a happy man
Just been to carpetright in Guildford looking for a carpet. Nice shop and very well organized. I meet Dhanya here and she was extremely helpful and understanding. Thank you for your help.
Very helpful staff, Abbas answered all our questions and booked in home visit in for measuring.
We came today to have a quotation for flooring as we are planning to take our carpets out and swap to vinyl flooring. Service was good. We are excited to have new floors!
Great service and made us feel completely at ease. Shazad is extremely competent and professional.
Matt and Rachel in the furniture village branch of carpetright were excellent in helping us pick carpet and underlay very informative. I would highly recommend them if you ever need carpet
Friendly staff
Very let down by the GUILDFORD store. Seems to be the case that your inconvenience is not our problem! The Fitter said that we weren't booked in for the fitting, although the Store deny this, either way someone is lying. The fitters didn't finally confirm that they weren't coming until 6:30pm (after chasing) and we were left to deal with an empty lounge and no confirmed time for refitting. Managed to get them to fit the next day after complaining to the store. They were late and it was all done very begrudgingly - they were also missing a part which apparently was not at the depot. Not the sort of service I could recommend and really messed up arrangements made. The store has apologized, but apparently no compensation can be made for poor service by Carpetright, as it is not their policy! The store answered the phone when I called, however, don't think I would have heard at all unless I had chased and would probably still be waiting in an empty room...
Feel very let down by the GUILDFORD store regarding the fitting of our carpet. Seems to be the case that your inconvenience is not our problem! The Fitter said that we weren't booked in for the allocated fitting, although the Store deny this, either way someone is lying to us. The fitters didn't finally confirm that they weren't coming until 6:30pm (after I had chased a few times) and we were left to deal with an empty lounge and no confirmed time for refitting. Managed to get them to fit the next day after complaining to the store (fitters arrived later though than arranged) and it was all done very begrudgingly - they were also missing the ordered door bar which apparently was not at the depot.

I have given 1 star, as the store answered the phone when I called, however, don't think I would have heard from them at all unless I had chased and would probably still be waiting in an emptied room...
We decided to use Carpet right after recommendations from a few people we know. So far we are happy with all, they offer an inspection service which we had carried out. The guy that came out was really helpful and talked us through all the additional items that we needed including changing a few grippers and a door bar. We then came back to Carpetright a few months later towards the end of our decoration project to choose a new carpet and arrange a fitting date. We dealt with Rachel who has made the whole process really easy especially as we have never bought carpet before and weren't really sure the difference between the products they do. Rachel has helped tailor the carpet and underlay to our needs whilst providing expectational service. We are now just waiting for the fitting date which is towards the end of January and we can finally complete our project.
Really good range of carpets. Helpful staff. Quiet
If I could give 0 stars, I would. We had carpet fitted from this store. The date of our prearranged fitting, I went in to labour. They still came and fitted, brilliant. However, they used our vacuum to clean up rather than bring one (which broke our vacuum in the process), but as we were in the hospital, we were not there to observe. 2 years later, we decided to lift some carpet because we had very squeaky floor boards. When we did this, we realised the fitter never installed the underlay or the grippers which we paid for. They simply reused what had been there. Talk about horrible business practice! We went back to the store the day after we discovered this, who then sent someone out to confirm our belief - which they did. Now, we have been emailing (yes, emailing - after requesting a PHONE call from a regional manager...no calls to date!) with the store manager who finally agreed to cover the cost of the proper underlay, but is charging us for install. Talk about shady, shady business practice!! AVOID at all cost!
Excellent service however we used furniture village not carpetright
Awful, ordered online, they delivered to the complete other end of the country not realising that the fitting address was different from the billing address, then told to cancel the order and when I tried to reorder the product as advised they told me it was no longer in the sale and it had doubled in price. I then recorded a different product, it came today completely the wrong colour to what I ordered and I now have no carpet and they really do not care dreadful customer service
Not good! LVT floor was fitted and we were left with a bubble in the flooring, and a leaking, wobbly toilet, and water damage to our ceiling. Tried to phone the store 20(!) times with no success. Went in to store to discuss the issues, and we were told that it would be possible to have a different fitter come back to fix the problems. The following day, after an exchange of emails, the original fitter, who I had requested not attend my property knocked on my door without warning! My toilet still wobbles, but I don't want anything to do with this store any more. Terrible disconnect between sales and fitting service which is sadly ingrained in the structure of this company. Definitely avoid if you have any other options, they don't deserve your business just because they're a big name in the industry.
So, so, so expensive with lots of extra charges.
Friendly and efficient
The most incompetent company I have ever experienced- DO NOT USE! I have lost count of the number of fittings they failed to attend or cancelled without notice after repeated booked slots... they also messed up my first order and fitting so I unfortunately had to book another slot which has now had three cancellations from product damage / not arriving. They really couldn’t give a damn about customer service - how the company is even in operation is beyond me!
Didn't turn up on day of booking and I only knew they weren't coming when I phoned them. Not helpful
We were sold carpets by Carpet Right Guildford and when they were fitted by them, we trusted their team to be in the house unattended. Not only did they fit carpets in a bedroom with blue marks over it and leave it, they used all 3 toilets in the house and did not flush. They left rubbish everywhere inside, empty drinks cans outside and all the offcuts spread all over the drive. It took 3 unhelpful phone calls to the store manager to get the carpet replaced. They always promised to call back and didn't, we chased every single call to get it sorted. Once they have sold you the carpet, the staff are very rude, abrupt and unhelpful. Do not respond to emails and never called back when they promised. DO NOT USE these people, save yourself a lot of time/effort and go somewhere else. The only redeeming thing was the fitters who came to solve another problem we had (carpet did not meet threshold)... they were actually helpful.
Oh dear, a fiasco from start to finish! Tried to get laminates done for our bedroom and study. Order placed and paid in full, promised a call 7-10 days to arrange fitting. After 14 days I rang them, took me over 6 hours to get the ring tone - always engaged. "We will ring you back" (but they never did), after about a week of this, they admitted it was out of stock until 10th October! So tried to get one room done, but the fitter turned up and didn't have all the materials, after 3 more attempts to get the fitting done, we returned to the store to sort it all out. They do not answer the phone, they do not return your calls, even their customer services failed to ring us back! I am pleased with the final result but it has been extremely hard work getting it done and I have had to be very very persistent with them. I would never use them again!
would never go there again !! The people that work there are so rude ,i wanted someone to come out and measure for me however the man i spoke too said i didnt need that and that if i could show him how big the room was he could just give me a price , i said no that i wanted someone to come out so he gave me a time and date but no one showed up !!!! That team must be losing carpet right thousands
