Charlton herringbone vinyl flooring — fitted with borders

“Jordan put in carpets for our 2 bedrooms, landing and stairs in our new loft conversion and in 2 existing bedrooms. The quality of the carpets is excellent and the price for the work very reasonable. He gets on with the job, very professional, work of the highest standard. Top class.” — Gary Simmons, verified Google review
