What our customers say

We have been serving South East London for decades and you can leave reviews for us on various platforms but we would prefer you to leave us a Google Review or on our facebook page.

We have received this glowing Google review from Dionne Russel, below, that tells you why our customers choose us over the big names. She said, “Local knowledge beats the big names — every time I… started with Tapi, who were pleasant enough. Their AI-generated measurements came through with a quote of around £1,400 — even with a sale on. Something didn’t sit right, so I went looking for a local independent instead. I found Budget Carpets and spoke with Ray, who was brilliant from the start. He took the time to properly explain the quirks of measuring an awkward hallway shape, got the correct measurements (significantly more than Tapi’s AI had estimated), and tracked down the exact same carpet I’d originally chosen. His quote came in at £950 — saving me several hundred pounds for a better service. From placing the order to fitting completed and the old carpet taken away, the whole job was done within five days. Knowledgeable, unhurried, and genuinely helpful. Ray is exactly the kind of person you hope to find when you support a local business. Highly recommended — don’t overlook your independents!“

★★★★★ Best carpet company in London
★★★★★ Absolutely outstanding, 10 years and still the best! I've been working with this company for the past 10 years, and I can honestly say they are the best carpet supply and installation company in London. Every single job has been done to the highest standard, on time and with no fuss. Their service is reliable, professional and great value. A special mention has to go to their fitter, Dave. He works like a machine! In the 25 years I've lived in London, I've never met a harder-working man. He's fast, precise, tidy, and the finish is always flawless. Dave is a true credit to the company. If you want quality carpets, expert fitting and a team you can trust, look no further. I recommend them 100%, and I'll keep using them for many years to come!

Great carpet shop and really reasonable prices, I was quoted more then double by tapi carpets for the same carpet and budget carpets could fit within a week. The staff and fitter were very friendly and professional. Would recommend to a friend

Check the images I’ve attached for the full experience (HORROR) **DO NOT BUY FROM HERE — WORST EXPERIENCE I’VE EVER HAD.** The experience from delivery to fitting was extremely disappointing. The first fitter, John, was rude and aggressive, slammed my front door and left a **5-metre carpet at the top of 18 stairs** because I didn’t have a parking permit. I would have happily paid for parking, but instead I had to move the carpet downstairs myself. I requested a different fitter, but unfortunately the second experience was just as bad. He repeatedly **shouted, interrupted me and wouldn’t let me speak**, making comments such as *“Are you going to let me do my job?”* and *“What are you moaning about now?”* I could also hear the shop staff discussing my complaint disrespectfully over the phone. I was told the fitters would have a spare T-bar, but they didn’t. I also paid for grippers, which were not installed, leaving bumps in the carpet. I had to arrange a refund separately. The second fitter even started to leave with the job unfinished after I said I would record the interaction because of the way I was being spoken to. Thankfully, his son stepped in and helped complete the job. The **only positive** was his son, who was patient, respectful and genuinely tried to help. I paid the full price and still thanked them for completing the job, but I have never experienced such poor customer service and treatment. **I would strongly recommend thinking twice before spending your money here.**

Question for the owner, Can I buy a piece of vinyl from you to bring home and fit myself ? Or do you only do buy and fit service, UPDATE, got the vinyl flooring i wanted, delivered no probs and nice and early. Friendly helpful guys from start to finish, Will definitely buy there again. THANKYOU
My experience with Budget Carpets has been amazing. Similar to others, we started off getting a quote from Tapi, who insisted we need a new underlay / grippers, and to pay for removals of old carpet. Budget Carpets were much more flexible and honest from the start. They told me when they come to measure, they can assess if a new underlay is needed, and we won't be committing to buy one if they're still working fine. Turned out they are all okay. A month in and the carpet is great. Very similar quality and feel to the ones we saw in Tapi. We ended up paying a lot less for a hassle free experience. Would highly recommend.

From start to finish, Ray and Mike were incredible. Nothing was an issue. They accommodated all of our changes and there were no issues. Dave came today and worked SO hard. He was super fast and efficient. I can't praise him and the team enough. The carpet is lovely. Thanks so much!

Needed Some vinyl very quickly as wanted to put it down the same day as the Bathroom Fitter fits my panels. Was able to go and pick some vinyl, have it cut and take it away immediately, at a reasonable price, and to the size I wanted. I had actually gone to another Flooring place the day before on Rotherhithe new road and they weren’t even open at 2 pm on a Friday, so very glad I found these guys. Thank you Ray and team.

Local knowledge beats the big names — every time I needed a carpet for a tricky double dog leg hallway and started with Tapi, who were pleasant enough. Their AI-generated measurements came through with a quote of around £1,400 — even with a sale on. Something didn't sit right, so I went looking for a local independent instead. I found Budget Carpets and spoke with Ray, who was brilliant from the start. He took the time to properly explain the quirks of measuring an awkward hallway shape, got the correct measurements (significantly more than Tapi's AI had estimated), and tracked down the exact same carpet I'd originally chosen.

Needed a carpet fitted urgently so googled ‘fit a carpet in 24 hours’ and Budget Carpets came up. I emailed them and Ray responded within the hour even though it was a Wednesday night at 7 pm. From thereonin it was the simplest and most pleasant transaction! We went to the warehouse on Walworth Road the next day, had the help of Luis to pick a big enough remnant and Dave came Friday morning at 8.00 AM with his 33 years of expertise and fitted a 5 x 4 metre room in less than 90 minutes. All for under £400! Wouldn’t hesitate to use them again or recommend them to others. My daughter is delighted. Thank you Ray, Luis and Dave, this is business how business should be done 🤩

We had a great experience with Budget Carpet Walworth. Their prices are much more affordable than the big high-street brands, which meant we were able to choose a natural wool carpet that would normally have been out of our budget. Communication throughout was excellent—Ray in particular was really helpful, responsive, and easy to deal with. They were also very flexible when it came to arranging dates, which made the whole process smooth and stress-free. This was particularly important to us because we were not sure when we would have been able to move in. Overall, a super service from start to finish. We’re really pleased with the result and would definitely recommend them.

First class service, great fitting, great carpet, great people. We found Ray and team through a recommendation and are so glad we did. They helped us choose a great quality carpet that will last and last, for a sensible price and which won’t feed the moths! It looks really luxe and fantastic, and they were so helpful throughout the process and with all the logistics. Highly recommended.

Great service from Ray and Luis. They went above and beyond and even brought me a sample of the laminate carpet so I could see the quality before doing the work or taking any payment. Luis was fast and did an amazing job. The price was reasonable for the quality, the service, and the size of my house. I’m super happy with my beautiful new floor. Definitely recommend them! Thank you, Ray and Luis.

Carpet supply and fitting for 1 bed flat at Kings X. The proprietor, Ray, arranged to go to the tenanted flat to measure up and make recommendations for the type of carpet. Supply and fit was very prompt and efficient, Dave the fitter has decades of experience and is awesome. I hadn’t realised how much difference a good fitting could make to the look and feel of a carpet (like a bra I suspect). Quality outfit.

Service from start to finish was absolutely fantastic. Shop staff was sooo helpful when choosing what i wanted and was really accommodating when i had to keep changing my fitting date. I am extremely happy with my lino in my hallway, bathroom and kitchen, it looks absolutely fantastic!! Professionally fitted by a very nice man who worked really hard, took his time and was a pleasure to invite into my home. I will definitely be back for new carpets for my bedrooms next. Thank you, to all working at Budget carpets for such a professional service 👏 Would definitely recommend their services to others.

I had used their Peckham store for 20 years to update 4 properties and always had a great experience. May 2021 was my first experience buying from their Walworth Rd shop. -Ray was fantastic, even bringing the samples to my home as I wasn't well. Dave did a great job fitting the carpet a week later. The carpet looks great, the price was good and the service was absolutely fantastic. I will be back!
