AVOID JARROW SOUTH TYNESIDE STORE

I want to put complaint in about Jarrow store. Worst service. Shop staff are all utterly clueless and unhelpful. Was told on Thursday last week someone would come out to fix job not done correctly that day or the friday. No one came, no phone call. Called Saturday and was told to ring monday. We're now told to wait an extra 11 days because no one can come but no one told us this, we had to ring to find out and book it in. Clearly can't arrange a p*ss up in a brewery.

Outstanding Service from Start to Finish!
We recently bought a new carpet for our lounge and passage from Franks the Flooring Store, and we couldn’t be happier with the entire experience. From the moment we walked into the store, the staff were friendly, knowledgeable, and really helped us find the perfect carpet for our home.
The fitting was originally scheduled for later, but to our surprise and delight, they managed to fit us in ahead of time—which was a fantastic bonus. The fitters were professional, efficient, and courteous throughout. They even moved the furniture for us, which made the whole process completely stress-free.
The carpet looks amazing and has completely transformed the space. A massive thank you to the team at Franks for making everything so smooth and easy. Highly recommended—we will definitely be back for future flooring needs!
Thanks again for everything

Outstanding service from James at the Consett branch

I had an excellent experience at Franks Factory Flooring in Consett thanks to James. His customer service was outstanding from start to finish. He let us take samples home so we could match them properly in our living room and we were back and forth three times until we finally found the perfect one. James was so helpful, patient and friendly and I knew straight away I’d be buying my carpet from there because of him.

You don’t get this level of expertise or personal service when buying online. Although our carpet is an order in so it hasn’t been fitted yet I really wanted to write this review to highlight what an asset James is to the Consett branch. We couldn’t be happier and we’ll definitely be coming back to James when we do the rest of the house.

Arrogant fitter with zero people skills

Guisborough branch.

Service and attitude from the staff in the shop was brilliant.
Unfortunately the fitter who they sent was rude obnoxious and just didn’t want fit the vinyl as it was large hallway with alcove and under stairs cupboard.(Not a standard square room )
He broke all the screed up where the concrete floor met and said I can’t lay that as there is a hole ! Which he had just made himself.
He was quite happy to lay the floor on a previous visit but the vinyl wasn’t long enough .
Absolute cowboy who’s van apparently broke down the day before but got fixed straight away after we sat in waiting all day waiting for our first thing appointment.
Will never step foot into Franks again .

Will never be using them again!

We chose franks due to needing a particular carpet but I certainly will never be going back.
Had to chase up to get the quote and fitment date.
They are far more expensive than other local providers.
The fitters themselves were the most rudest/ignorant people. I was home alone at the time and 8 months pregnant and they made me feel extremely uncomfortable and were very rude.
They have not laid the carpet in the cupboards as requested and there's lumps under the lino in the bathroom.
Will certainly be never using them again!

Budget artificial grass

To put it mildly, i wasn't exactly bowled over by their customer service and was instead felt offended within the first 30 seconds of conversation, in all fairness the person swiftly corrected, and the more we engaged with this person, the nicer they become. My impression is they seem to be more interested in netting big spenders, than the more conservative spender, no where for old ppl to sit that i could see, my mother who recently had a hip op, ended up having to sit on their swatches samples whilst waiting for the paperwork and payment processing, only saving grace is we were practically rushed out the shop, i can only assume they beleive our appearance negatively effects their sales. For anyone else searching for artificial grass Cheaper grass can be bought at homebarg, so check there first if 4x1m is all you need, there is also the option to stitch 2 or more together. And save a fortune, appears to be no difference in quality that i could see. Too late for us, we paid 87 for 2x4 when we could have got same for 50, obv i dont hold this against the shop, its more about the overall experience to me, which they dont appear to value.

I wish i had read the reviews before.

I wish i had read the reviews before using Franks Flooring. This bad review is about their fitters. Franks themselves were very good to deal with and had a good quality choice of flooring. After my experience, i seem to have had the same problem with fitters that many other people have had. I ordered vinyl flooring and plywood to be put underneath to make a smooth surface- what a disaster! The fitter must have used the cheapest plywood and didn't nail it down properly because it warped the next day! My floor looked like the ocean waves! He also moaned whilst doing the job, saying it was too much for him. This was unfair to me as i was paying him £620. After phoning Franks to complain, they said this fitter was the only one who did vinyl. I said i did not want that incompetent person in my house again. I have now lost out and have had to ask a relative to lift the vinyl and put some more nails in the boards, but it is still uneven. I am so angry and disappointed. I would advise anyone who wants vinyl, not to use the only fitter Franks have- go elsewhere.

5* customer service

needed a new carpet and went in to browse, when i returned later that day Colin recognised me and came to help.
he was very knowledgeable and really friendly and helpful providing great guidance.
Whilst at the till Warren was also really friendly and provided 5* customer service.
They couldn’t have done any more to help us and we would 100% return and recommend to our friends to come to the store
