Kai and his team were so helpful, efficient and professional. In just one day they transformed the Living Room, removing furniture, the old threadbare carpet and laying the new floor.

We reached out to Harry as we wanted a stair runner. Him and his term were friendly, excellent at communicating and made a lot of effort to work around our timings/requirements. We are very pleased with how the stair runner looks and would highly recommend their service.

Smyth Carpets were recommended by a neighbour in Hassocks. Harry was prompt and always happy to answer any questions we had. The installation ran smoothly, and the team laid the carpet really well. We are super happy with the finished result. The team were friendly and professional throughout. We plan to get more carpet laid in the near future, and there is no doubt that we will ask Smyth Carpets to do this!

Great company. Very reasonable pricing. Did vinyl and carpet at my house with some very awkward angles and nothing was too much trouble. Highly recommended

What an excellent job, my flat is completely reformed. Everything was done quickly, rubbish removed and the place was clean afterwards, what’s not to like. Thank you very much for an outstanding job

We recently bought a house in Lancing and the ratty old carpet desperately needed replacing. Smyth Carpets have done such a great job, we're really pleased with our new carpet and it has completely transformed the house.
