Oakengates Carpet Co in short
Oakengates Carpet Company is a carpet and flooring showroom on Stafford Road in Oakengates, trading since the mid-sixties with carpets, wood, laminate, vinyls and blinds. Repairs sit alongside supply and fit, and a free measurement service comes with a free call-out quote. Its limited company dates to the same decade.
Customers rate Oakengates Carpet Company decently: approaching five stars on Google from a modest set of reviews, the softest headline figure among the showroom firms. There is no second review source on record. This review reads that as fair rather than damning for a long-standing shop.
The gaps are familiar ones: no published insurance details, rates or VAT terms. The company record, opening hours and a gallery are all there to check.
