Carpet buying advice

[555_Si]

I am after some deep pile, soft, thick carpet for one of my spare bedrooms.

I have looked round Paul Simon and Carpet Right and found what I want, but I don't know how the quality compares.

I am looking currently at £30 odd per m2 and then another £8 per m2 for underlay. The carpet is 100% Polamide.

Am I on the right tracks, or should I go for a wool mix and should I go to independent sellers for a better deal?

Any help would be appreciated as I am new to this buying carpet lark.

Are you signed up on Surrey Scoobies?

There is a chap on there, Colin (old93ra), that runs a carpet and flooring business. Bookham Carpets I think if you wanted to search Google.

Could be a useful chap to speak to.

H Simon, I've been cleaning carpets/upholstery for years now and had my own business for 3 years and if it's of any interest to you, wool carpets are much harder to keep clean as they are a natural fibre there's only so many chemicals can be used, if you have children or a lot of traffic coming in and out of your house I would suggest polypropylene or nylon, much easier to keep clean and doesn't cost as much as wool/ wool mix, hope that helps a little

Or you could go round the corner to Horsham carpets on crawley rd or call carpet craft in Horsham who come to you
