Allied Carpets

Hi, on the bus yesterday, I saw a sign my local branch window saying remnants and rugs 70% off this weekend only.On their site it just says 70 off as though it's on now.Could be worth a look.

    Went in today and all where half price - this is a genuine half price not mark up to mark down as in most sales - got a room size of good bedroom quality chocolate colour for £3.49 sq yard so was charged £55 showing original price of £113 on reciept - prices started from £2 sq yard - people where buying full broadlooms (if thats what you call em) probably to sell on.

    I find Allied Carpet to be genuine by not marking up. I got a vinyl for 70% off last week and a remant for 50%, saved so much money

    I think they are in administration so it might be the administrators selling it off to recover what money they can.

    Yes I forgot to mention the vinyl I got the 2 yards wide slate tile look stuff (3 yards long) half price from £5 down to 2.49 sq yard (total price £15).

    Excuse the term yards in old speak im sure its all in metres now.

    Tis a pity you're not in the West Country, down there they all know that Trago Mills is the place for proper prices on carpets etc, how much were those gripper rods I just bought (about 80% less than a well known DIY store I think). Don't asked where they are, if you live in Devon or Cornwall you just know.

    Trago Mills, Don't ask where they are, if you live in Devon or Cornwall you just know.

    Don't think Merthyr Tydfil is in Devon or Cornwall.
