Captain Carpet

This is an excellent place to buy carpet from. They really are brilliant people who run this warehouse and yes it IS a warehouse not their shop. But here you get to see the carpets and buy pieces if they’ve got them. I’ve been up to their shop in Olney and they’re nice there too, but I prefer going to the warehouse directly. Partly because it’s nearer, but also because it’s less formal and I’m not really a formal sort of person.
The place is in an industrial part of the estate, and when you go in the inside is pretty industrial too, it’s basically a big warehouse where they store the carpet and so on. They do have a fairly large choice though, and compared to a lot of the places locally they’re also pretty good on price I think.
When we’ve had carpets from them we’ve done it both ways sometimes getting them to do the fitting, and other times doing the fitting ourselves, and either way that’s fine with them.
