Pay weekly carpets

[OceanTurtle]

Has anyone used pay weekly carpets? Are they any good? Thanks

Thank you, honestly some people. I never asked for advice about carpet just for some reviews, I know I could use rugs I don’t want to!

Oh I see thanks I will have a look now.

Cant you find reviews on trustpilot or Google? This isnt a place to get reviews without questions and comments.

I thought they were a scam company. Have a look on Gumtree or FB market place for any cheap or free cut offs. You can sometimes pick up large off cuts of carpets very cheaply or for free.

I just did a search on Gumtree and found a hallway & stairs carpet piece for £30.

Agreed it's not ideal to have stained carpets. However, if things are tight (and absolutely zero judgement here) then I feel the pointers towards making do here are pretty sage advice. What if something unexpected happens - boiler packs in / washing machine needs repairs etc - these are essential items in any family home and will need attention asap.
I've lived with stained carpets for years until I save enough to replace all the old, worn out carpets. Your friends and family won't judge you for living with what's there til you can replace it.
Remember - those that matter don't mind, and those that mind don't matter.

Only they do judge 🤣 anyway I can replace washing machines etc easier as I have an argos card and they are considerably cheaper, carpets aren’t cheap especially when I need to do 3 rooms and stairs/ landing

@OceanTurtle apologies, I hadn't considered new hardboard. Not trying to distract you.

A friend of mine used them and really rated them, she also had blinds fitted by them to.
the carpet she chose is really nice and is still holding up well a few years later.

I'd get a 0% credit card and pay that off over 18 months/2 years op

Is that an option?

Rooms can also be renovated easily with laminate flooring, it's easy to fit yourself (electric saw an advantage but you could use hand tools) we did a whole house bar the stairs which we painted brown with no previous experience. Started off using the cheapest stuff from b&q and later on switched to real wood, took 5 years to do whole house room by room, it's normal for houses to take time (stairs had to be on day one due to previous owners dog weeing on it repeatedly!)

She asked if people had used this company! not for an unwanted critique of her decision making. Proffering an unsolicited opinion is also rude

I haven't used the company so can't comment on that, sorry. I can say that some posters are being very rude questioning @OceanTurtle about why she needs new carpets when she doesn't have the cash upfront. Carpets are hardly a luxury in this country.

Other possibilities: there's a lot of used carpet for sale very cheaply on ebay, you could check and see if there's anything local to you. FBMP and Gumtree might also have some options. That is a considerably cheaper option that wouldn't require credit and could do as a stop gap until you can get a new carpet.

You could ask in 'normal' carpet shops about offcuts and roll ends, might be a cheaper option. There are also dedicated websites devoted to selling offcuts and roll ends which might be worth looking at. I realise these might be harder to acess for you though.

Bit different but have you looked at carpet cleaning companies? Some of them come up so much cleaner than you could ever imagine! We just had ours done, £69 for the whole of upstairs. It looks new!

I know you said you don't want mess about with fitters but just in case you change your mind, designer carpets does some really nice good quality roll ends for very good prices.

Unless you are moving into a social housing property as they come with no carpets/flooring - it is usually the wonky hardboard and stairs that have splinters and the likes sticking out 🤦🏼‍♀️
