Carpetright is one of the most famous carpet fitting companies in Manchester as evidenced by their multiple branches across the city. Naturally, we had to take a closer look and we’re so glad we did!
For starters, we immediately loved their convenient fitting services, as they offered at-home visits. This service allows clients to finalise pricing, which is great for transparency!
Furthermore, this lets clients get the best opinion on what would be the perfect carpet that would fit their home. Plus, they also offer online appointments!
As for the fitting service itself, we liked how the complete package they offer includes a free cleaning service. For someone who knows how messy cutting and fitting carpets is, this is a huge green flag.
We’re just iffy about reports of poor customer service. For starters, we’ve heard from one of their past clients that the fitters that were assigned to them took no responsibility for their mistakes.
Furthermore, their lines couldn’t be reached at times, which could be frustrating for clients.
Pros
- Free cleaning service after carpet fitting
- Convenient online and at-home consulting
- Features multiple branches across Manchester
Cons
- Lacklustre customer service
Very knowledgeable
“We had a superb experience – we found all the staff (particularly Rachel) to be very knowledgeable and helpful when we went in.
We were able to choose from a large selection of floorings, and we purchased the very next day.
We had a time constraint and the store manager was kind enough to go out of his way to ensure we had the flooring on time, so thank you Chris for that also – very much appreciated.”
Jonathan Hunter, Google Review
Friendly and gave good service
“Met by Precious at the door. He was friendly and gave good service without being overbearing. Polite and friendly. Would come again if and when I need carpets. Plus there is a 50% and a 20% on top sale at the moment!”

When it comes to affordability, Urmston Carpets is the KING among all its competitors in Manchester, hands-down! This is because not only do they sell a wide variety of discount carpets, but they also offer fitting services for free!
We appreciate how they offer an impressive selection that fills up two floors of their store. Their collection gave us the idea that they could cater to various types of clients with different budgets and styles.
Moreover, all of the carpets they have in store automatically come with free delivery, free grippers, free door plates and, as previously mentioned, free fitting.
The only thing we didn’t like about Urmston Carpets was that their quality seems to be inconsistent, more particularly with their fitting services. We’ve interviewed some of their past clients, and their feedback ranged from super pleased to downright disappointed.
Then again, they do offer their fitting services for free so I don’t suppose we could complain too much.
Pros
- Wide variety of discounted carpets
- Free fitting services
- Free delivery
Cons
- Inconsistent carpet fitting quality
The carpet quality is great!
“Daniel fitted our carpet! He had a genuine passion for his job and it showed with his fitting! Called prior to arriving! Really lovely guy and a joy having him in our home! He even gave us tips on fitting door plates and the management of our wooden floors! A* service!
The carpet quality is great! Fast fitting with a wait of less than 2 weeks for fitting from ordering! Would definitely recommend it!”
Charlotte Bradshaw, Google Review
Excellent service
“Excellent service from both the showroom and fitter. Kieran went out of his way to help us when we decided to change the colour of the carpet we had already chosen and Daniel did a sterling job of perfectly fitting the carpet despite some obstacles in moving a chair and our monster cheese plant which he overcame with helpfulness and a never failing, cheerful attitude. Thanks again – we’ll be back!”

We initially heard about Floor Express through word-of-mouth so we had to take a closer look. We wanted to see the store for ourselves, and boy, was that a spectacular decision!
We were greeted by their impressive selection of flooring materials, from vinyl to wood and of course carpets. Moreover, we immediately noticed how friendly their customer service was when we were greeted with smiles by one of their staff members.
We loved a lot of things about their carpet fitting services, one of which was how cheap they were! They also offer a free measuring service once the client finalises a carpet, which we thought was pretty neat.
The only bad thing we noticed is that their fitters aren’t punctual. We’ve also heard reports of inconsistent quality with regard to their carpet fitting service.
Overall, Floor Express Manchester excels in providing a wide variety of flooring services but falls a tad short on execution.
Pros
- Reasonable prices
- Great variety of services
- Friendly customer service
Cons
- Inconsistent output quality
- Reports of fitters coming late
So pleased with my hallway carpet
“I am so pleased with my hallway carpet. Carl was great at fitting the carpet, and Ian was brilliant in the shop. He matched up the colour of my paint with the carpet choice. I would definitely use Floor Express again.”
Hayley Sherratt, Google Review
Goes above and beyond
“I went into Floor Express looking for advice on a range of different products, Lewis explained & assisted me with all my questions (and believe me there were loads) and was very knowledgeable.
He also gave me really good suggestions for things I hadn’t even thought of. I would highly recommend dealing with Lewis, he is very friendly and goes above & beyond to help out.”

Concept Carpets Flooring is a company we discovered through one of their white vans roaming around the city.
We loved how affordable their fees were, as they were well below the usual rates that carpet flooring companies charge in Manchester nowadays. We also appreciated that their services go beyond carpet fitting, as they also offer other kinds of flooring.
Another thing that’s worth highlighting about this company is its exceptional customer service. It’s evident whether you’re inquiring about their services via their phone or walk-in visits.
One thing we noticed was that the quality of their work is a bit of a mixed bag. Some people were very impressed with the outcome of their carpets while others weren’t happy at all, with some clients stating that the fitters left a mess.
Take this with a grain of salt, however, as someone else’s experience may not be the same as yours.
Pros
- Affordable prices
- Straightforward carpet fitting process
- Great location
Cons
- Inconsistent service quality
So many great choices and styles
“Thank you Lewis for your great service I love my new car and he did it at such a great price, especially during these hard times. He has so many great choices and styles/colours.
It’s only 4* because the lad that put down the carpet left all the extra pieces which I didn’t want and couldn’t take my old one so now I need to find a way to get rid of my old one. But apart from that everything else was good.
Many thanks, Lewis”

5-star fitting service
“Absolutely superb! I used this company for Robert Glass Opticians and they went above and beyond from start to finish. Exceptional care was given and 5-star fitting service.
Value for money with the choice of commercial flooring and they even corrected our current floor levelling. Thank you from all our team at Robert Glass to Ellis and the crew.”

Kingsway Carpets and Flooring was our fitter of choice because they’re one of the oldest companies in the city that offer this service, being founded back in 1980.
As a homeowner, entering Kingsway Carpets and Flooring’s showroom was like being a kid walking into a candy store because there were so many good choices. This showroom features over 100 carpets that feature different styles, colours and of course, price points.
We were more pleased to see how effective their customer service is. One of their staff members immediately approached us during our visit and started asking questions to help us narrow down our choices.
Our only gripe with Kingsway Carpets and Flooring is their relatively higher rates compared to other carpet fitting services in the area. We felt that we were paying more than what we needed to.
On the other hand, we loved that they offered free measure and quote services.
Pros
- Exceptional customer service
- Offers free measuring and quote services
- Amazing selection of carpets
Cons
- Pricey rates
Brilliant from start to finish
“We used Kingsway Carpets to fully carpet our house in Stockport and they were brilliant from start to finish. Really professional and had loads of stock for us to choose from.
The carpets were fitted quickly and to a very good standard. We’ll be using them again for sure. Highly recommend!!”

So pleased we chose Kingsway
“So happy with our new carpets! The service we received at Kingsway has been brilliant – from measuring up to fitting, everyone has been amazing.
We only planned on getting two rooms done but once they were fitted they looked so good, that we ended up going back and getting the hall, stairs and landing done too! So pleased we chose Kingsway”
