Trimmer - London or Yorkshire

[NomduJour]

Need a straightforward set of leather-bound carpets made and my chosen place can't do it until August.

Could anyone recommend a trimmer in or around London or Yorkshire who is competent and not in a pricing dreamland?

AS Pickering in Bradford are superb.

They're in a horrible part of town though, I dread heading over there, it's like Mogadishu.

Thanks, I'd come across their site - will give them a call.

Re Bradford - last time I drove through, there was a large amount of bulk loo-roll being bought from the back of Luton vans. Odd.

Cannon Mills market on Sunday morning is where you need to be for that. Looks like the film set for Platoon.

There used to be an excellent pet shop in the mills and I'd called in with my (then) eight year old son, not realising it was "market" day. As we walked through the stalls we came across an old curtain sided truck loaded to the top with loo rolls on pallets. Pink or white was the choice. Just as we got level with the queue, the inevitable small voice beside me... "Dad? Do they have to buy all those loo rolls because they eat so much curry?"

Another vote for Pickerings from me too. Very helpful.

Another vote for Pickerings, they've some great work on my Dad's Morgan +8 plus a bicycle seat when I rebuilt my wife's Raleigh Palm Beach.

And did anyone else spot the chap wearing the Pickerings sweat shirt on the MG TD episode of "For the love of cars", as they were installing the newly rebuilt interior?
