Haggling on carpet costs...?

QTPie

We are currently looking at either Westex Ultima (£29.50sqm) or 40oz Tudor Twist (22sqm). I know which one I like, but.... We are after 180sqm (cost of installing + underlay, grippers etc = £1756) + a small en-suite shower room vinyled (which they are charging £150 for).

Local carpet shop is already offerinf 10% discount (on carpet and fitting) with the quote (without haggling).

Total costs (including discount and VAT) are £6223.48 for the Tudor Twist and £7650.58 for the Ultima.

Everything in this world seems to be up for a haggle. Any idea what to strive for (apart from "as much as possible") with this quote?

Look online to find out how cheaply you can buy the raw materials then get a quote for fitting from a fitter. (Firemen are a good bet!)

£5.5k on the first, £6.5k on the second, no if or buts, take it or leave it, Tell them that is all yu have budgeted for, if they leave it just walk away.
(bet they get to you before you get to the door,) if they dont, they dont deserve your business, go elswhere to a company who will appreciate your business.
