They do make some lovely runners. They are called flat-weave they come in some tremendous designs but there aren't many people who can fit them. They just don't have enough fitters at Roger Oates themselves so it can mean a long wait. Our sister company at Cavendish deVere fit Roger Oates runners in London and we can see they have made a sterling job of this project in Wandsworth here. But you know it isn't all about Roger Oates. We sell striped sisal carpet stair runners too! Have a look you might be surprised and they are a lot cheaper than a Roger Oates stair runner!
