Passing on the savings to you
BUSINESS is going from strength- to- strength for Karpet Mills, the North East’s biggest stockist of quality carpets.
Operations director Joel Dickinson said: “The expansion of our retail operation last year with the opening of a huge new carpet depot in Gateshead has boosted our buying power significantly and we have been able to pass these savings directly on to our customers.
“We have completely filled our new 8,000sq ft shop next to Matalan on the Tyne Bridge Retail Park, near the redeveloped centre of Gateshead. All of our carpet depots are bursting at the seams with carpets at genuinely wholesale prices, that any customer can buy.”
Joel is the sixth generation of his family to join the company, which has been selling carpets for more than 100 years. He explains the success of the business since it was founded in 1878: “We have a very simple philosophy – sell quality carpets at low, low prices – backed up by first- rate customer service. We have buyers across Europe finding products at crazy prices. The demand from our three branches allows us access to products in high volumes at heavily discounted prices. We pass these savings directly to our customers.
“We will not be beaten on price. We offer the lowest prices and the best service. For customers who haven’t visited us before, we invite them to see why we have been successfully selling carpets for over a century – old- fashioned service; modern day, competitive prices.”
The previous Durham Pine site in Gateshead offers two floors of showroom space, which houses more than 100 rolls and 1,000 remnants of carpet and vinyl.
All parking charges for the large pay- and- display car park will be refunded to all customers who visit Karpet Mills.
There are prices to suit everyone, from £ 2 per sqm to £ 45 per sqm.
“Our prices are very, very competitive,” said Joel. “We sell carpets at prices that other carpet shops buy them at. We have heavyweight wool twists priced as low as £ 7.99 per sqm, or Axminster at £ 17.99 per sqm. We can offer fitting within two days by one of our 15 teams of professional, time- served carpet fitters”.
“We understand what our customers want and try to provide that in a simple and efficient way.”
“Our prices are the most competitive around and with a free estimating service, professional fitting and complete aftercare guarantee, we make buying a carpet a stress- free, reliable and easy process.”
Karpet Mills combines the experience gleaned from more than a century of trading with the modern day expectations of quality and service to provide a full package for every customer.
Like the Kingston Park and Hetton- Le- Hole branches, the new Gateshead branch will trade seven days a week.
Visit Karpet Mills, with ample, free parking at either Market Street, Hetton- Le- Hole ( only 10 minutes from Sunderland and Durham), Airport Industrial Estate, Kingston Park, Newcastle Upon Tyne and from early August, Tyne Bridge Retail Park Gateshead ( next to Matalan).
