Hello,

I've bought some carpets from CarpetRight, but they wanted an arm and a leg for the underlay, grips and the metal strips between the doors. After doing some googling, I have stumbled on www.carpet-underlay-shop.co.uk, who appear to have everything I need (I was quoted for rubber underlay, but i've been told to go for a cloud 9 product because it will resist flattening longer and is fitter friendly. and better still, at a fraction of the cost that CarpetRight wanted to charge me. I am a bit sceptical about buying from the internet!

Has anyone used them? Are they any good? Some feedback would be great, and I can save some serious money on retailers prices. Thanks.

I know people on here have recommended http://www.tradepriced.co.uk/ for underlay although I've not used them personally.

Product prices are virtually the same from both, but-

Be aware of the delivery costs. For smaller quantities - www.carpet-underlay-shop.co.uk are £1 + vat cheaper on delivery, and deliver next day. If you want to see samples before you buy, I am sure they will send some out for you

www.tradepriced.co.uk only have cheaper a delivery than the other site on much larger quantities, but they charge you £1.50 for sending out a sample.

In my opinion, the prices on both of these sites offer great value, in comparison to the multiple retailers. I haven't bought from either, so cannot comment on their service.

I used them to buy underlay for my whole house - was very impressed with their service. I believe that the cheapest place for gripper rods at the moment is in fact B&Q (for large quantities only) - £20 for 150m.

After a little flicking to and fro websites, I have ordered some Cloud 9 Cumulus from www.Carpet-underlay-shop.co.uk. The product is slightly cheaper, their delivery costs are cheaper, plus the website looks much more professional than the other one. Ive checked out that they are a real company, and not one of these '1 man band' shops.

From "TradePriced" 2 rolls of Cloud 9 Cumulus and 3 metal door strips, comes to £107.41 inc deliv & VAT;

"carpet underlay shop" is only £101.43 (including delivery and VAT) for exactly the same goods, saving £5.98!!!! Great stuff!

Sounds good. Let us know if it is delivered on time etc as I'll be needing some in the not too distant future.

Hi,

The underlay and door strips arrived yesterday, perfect and as expected! For the price I was expecting the Cloud 9 underlay to be some sort of fake, but looks and feels genuine enough to me (ie: Has 'Cloud 9 The Brand Leader' printed all over both product and bag. Also, the door strips arrived nicely packaged with a protective film to stop them scratching.

Brill correspondence too and sound really friendly. Certainly not a 'one-man-band' company.

Professional advice, great products quick delivery and cheaper than the competition. Would certainly use carpet-underlay-shop again.

Thanks for coming back and letting us know how it went

Any idea how much you saved over what you might have paid Carpet Right for their stuff ?

Its been a while since I looked but I thought it was about 30% of the price of carpet retailers and at least as good quality.

I have used Trade priced for underlay to replace mid priced foam underlay that our carpet shop supplied "free" it appeared a bit lumpy underfoot so we got the 130lb rubber stuff. Loads better.

No issues with Trade priced, stuff arrived as promised.
