Just had a 1 bed apartment carpetted by Ted. He and his assistant did a fantastic job. Even carpeted in the airing cupboard, which I was not expecting and very glad to see. Nothing was too much trouble as they carefully moved the furniture and disposed of the old carpet and underlay. All included at a very competitive price.
-
Ted (and Steve) have just supplied and fitted new stairs and landing carpet with a hall runner to match. They also installed made to measure door matting. I am so pleased with the result. Ted responded quickly to my request and the cost was competitive. They both worked hard and the result is beautiful.

Excellent service and would highly recommend! Ted has replaced all our bedroom carpets and we are so pleased with his work and the quality of carpets. He is friendly, professional, efficient, reliable, tidy, punctual and makes the process simple and easy. Thanks Ted.

Fantastic service from start to finish. I used Ted for the first time 9 years ago for new laminate flooring in my living room and it still looks like new. This week he replaced all the carpets in my flat. He quoted on the Friday and fitted them the following Wednesday. He took the old carpet away and left the place spotless. I highly recommend Callaghan Carpets and Flooring.
-
Another superb job done today by Ted and Stephen. Wood floors laid throughout the downstairs. This is the 4th time we have used Callaghan carpets & will soon be booking a 5th visit for new bedroom flooring. Highly recommend and always recommend to family and friends. So friendly & efficient and always do an excellent job. 5 stars from me!

Just had carpets fitted today. Came on time and did a lovely job. Ted was helpful all through the process. Ted and Steve left both rooms clean and tidy, and took the old underlay. Will definitely use them again.
-
Fantastic work by Ted, came to the rescue with taking up my carpets, when others were not interested … greatly appreciated …and would fully recommend !
-
Ted responded promptly to my ask for a quote; was thoughtful in suggesting an option I hadn't considered (moving a carpet from one room to another, re-using a good carpet, and saving some cost); was prompt and professional throughout and I'm very pleased with the finished work.
-
Absolutely excellent. Couldn't fault them. The quality of the carpets and the fitting were superb. Very timely and well prepared with samples and suggestions.
-
Genuinely highly recommended to others looking for a professional quality service, competitively priced. Found Ted Callaghan top of the list in The Little Green Book/The Directory with an amazing 27 reviews which I now know must all be true! Ted and his assistant Stephen laid new carpet in the hall, stairs and landing of 2 large Edwardian houses over 2 days and I couldn't be more pleased with the end result. I will definitely use Ted again and not hesitate to recommend for all flooring needs. Thank you Ted & Stephen for your excellent work!

Ted has been a pleasure to deal with from start to finish. He provided a quote, brought round two lots of samples (as I was not sure what colour I wanted) and has fitted the carpet today, beautifully. Hoovering included. He arrived at every appointment when he said he would. Most excellent.
-
Ted laid a bedroom carpet for me today. Arrived when he said he would and did a really good job. Will definitely be using him again.
-
I absolutely love the carpets Ted and his team layed in all bedrooms, landing and the staircase for me yesterday. From start to finish they were professional, clean, tidy, respectful of my newly painted walls (not a single mark on them and they had to move large items of furniture from room to room) and made the whole process completely stress free! Would definitely recommend. 10/10
-
Would recommend Ted. He is very helpful and reliable and carried out my work efficiently and promptly. I will definitely use him for future work.
-
Ted and his team did an amazing job re-carpeting my whole house. He also fitted a new walk in mat in the entrance hall. The finish is superb and I would highly recommend him.
-
A small job - relaying a section of worn stair carpet and replacing it with with a section from a less used and worn area. We were very pleased with the result and good value for a professional job well done. A very friendly and efficient service from Ted and Stephen from first contact via email through to completing the work.
-
Ted quoted for and fitted a striped carpet on our stairs and landing. He did an excellent job at a keen price. We were very happy with the result - all perfectly laid and with all rubbish and mess cleared up afterwards. Polite, friendly and efficient and fully observant of Covid restrictions. Callaghan Carpets are thoroughly recommended.
-
Just had Ted round in our new house to lay carpets, and replace home done laminate with a nice looking good quality laminate flooring. We had used Ted about 5-6 years ago in our old home, and because of the great job he did back then he was my first point of call for the new house - even though we are now in Oxfordshire. My house looks great now. A very professional job at a reasonable price, and he turns up when he says he will. Would definitely recommend him to my friends and family, and he'll be my first point of call in the future. Thanks Ted and Stephen for your hard work.
-
Extremely pleased with the service from Callaghan Carpets & Flooring. The gentleman brought round carpet samples and there was no pressure at all to make a choice. Very friendly and it was very quick from supplier to fit.
-
Reading the previous reviews on here persuaded me to ditch the well-known carpet retailer quote I had and instead seek out a quote from Callaghan Carpets. I'm very glad I did. What a pleasure it has been to deal with Ted. From the offset, his communication was excellent, the (very competitive) quote sent super quick and the work he did on two bedrooms is exemplary. I would wholeheartedly recommend this business for any carpet/flooring work you are considering.
-
Callaghan Carpets cut and fitted some carpet for us especially around a fitted wardrobe. They responded to us very promptly, are highly professional and clearly experts in their field. Their work is very neat indeed. Highly recommended.
-
I had utilised Ted’s services for about 13 years in my previous role as a Facilities Manager and always found him to be reliable, punctual, very competitively priced with an extremely high quality of workmanship. However it was not until I required replacement flooring throughout my home property, that had been rented out whilst living in Canada, that I truly appreciated the extra effort that Ted & his team were willing to put in. The communication between us (whilst still abroad) & the depth of his knowledge of multiple flooring options for different areas of the building was stunning. Timing between the tenants leaving & our furniture arriving, left a very tight window to get the work done. I had nothing to worry about. As Ted had quoted, the job was completed with plenty of time to spare & still came in on budget. I would be and have been happy to recommend him to all. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank him & his team for the hard work.
-
Very impressed with Ted. He came and measured up and presented a range of carpets and gave a very competitive price. He, Steve and Mike were early on the day to fit the carpet. The job was done really professionally. Would highly recommend.
-
I have used Ted on three occasions. I have always found him very helpful and tidy. His work is always of a high standard and I will use him again when I need to and would definitely recommend him to anyone thinking about new flooring.
-
I recently had carpets fitted in the lounge/diner, hall and small bedroom at my home by Callaghan Carpets & Flooring, Woodley, Reading. I was impressed with the excellent service provided by Ted and his assistant Steve. They were extremely pleasant and helpful in removing and reinstating larger items of furniture and electrical equipment. The work was undertaken in a very professional and caring manner. I would have no hesitation in approaching them again in the future and would certainly recommend the firm.

We have used Callaghan Carpets in three of the houses we have purchased. It started with one room and this year Callaghan Carpets did a total refurbishment of carpets and laminate throughout our entire extended house. Callaghan Carpets attitude and customer care is second to none. Ted is always extremely patient as we can be quite fussy, but it's never a problem. I have recommended Callaghan Carpets to Dad, Mum, my neighbours and close friends, all of which I know have used Callaghan Carpets and they are as pleased as I have been. Good old fashioned traditional tradesman attitude. Well done and keep up the great work.

Found Callaghan Carpets in the Little Green Book, excellent choice. Ted and Steve arrived on time were polite, easy to talk to and did a really good job. I will definitely recommend them.

I recently had a laminate floor laid by Callaghan Carpets and Flooring. The job was excellent, Ted and Stephen were very clean and tidy. Very friendly service and nothing was too much trouble for them. Would highly recommend Ted's company. Have now arranged for another floor to be laid by Ted.

Competitive price, good range of products, well fitted, excellent service. Helpful fitters, would highly recommend.

They came into my home today to re-carpet throughout, excellent workers and the finished job was just perfect, I would be happy to recommend them to anyone.
-
Ted and his team carried out carpeting for my hall, stairs, landing and two bedrooms. I have seen all his recommendations and I whole heartily agree with all of them. They were a pleasure to have in the house and Ted - when asked - gave his opinion on the pattern. Ted was quite right of course, my choice of a larger pattern would not have looked so good. Thank you Ted!
-
I have used Callaghan Carpets for all our flooring needs for the last 7 or 8 years in a busy education establishment. I have always been extremely happy with Ted & his team. The work carried out & prices that we were quoted were always carried out to the letter. Their friendly, professional attitude compliment the speed & tidiness of a job well done! I would fully recommend Ted & his team to anyone looking for Flooring solutions, commercial or domestic. Second to none.
