    Last year I priced in about 10 places and Martin Phillips in Belfast was the cheapest.

    I was also going to suggest Martin Phillips (except in Ards) ... remember these guys will always negotiate. And don;t forget some words of wisdom I was given a few years back ... always put down the best underlay you can afford .. a cheap carpet on good quality underlay is better than an expensive carpet with no or cheap underlay.

    I got a quote from Martin Philips then went to Allied Carpets they will beat any quote on same carpet by 10%. So looks like ill be going with them.

    Go back to Martin Phillips and see can the better or match the price.

    Given the choice I would rather give my custom to an NI owned company.

    Support local business, they need it

    Slightly outside your target area but I've always found Ideal Furnishings Barrack Street Dungannon 028 8772 2444 excellent for flooring (carpet & laminates) and furniture generally - as a bonus their fitter is excellent.
