    Sorry I meant that looks great.. I'm not sure if a design strip would save mine tbh.. the retailer isn't interested and I'm not sure what to do now. Wish I'd never touched Amtico full stop, their fault or not.. I'm not getting much help.

    Could you clarify what you think is utter shite for me.. it's just I'm going to fire all points back at the retailer... because when he came to look after I'd threatened to make a you tube video of the work... he litterely said "there's nothing wrong with it."

    One of the problems you’ve got is to them they probably think there’s nothing wrong with it as that’s the standard they’re used to and are only capable of producing and this kind of standard is unfortunately common place !

    On this forum your taking to good lads who strive for very good standards so it’s easier for us to criticise work like what you’ve had done.

    That’s probably why it’s not getting through to them but definitely keep the pressure on

    That's great, put if you could put into words what you think is bad about it I can add that to my argument.. as at the moment it is my word against his.. I'm still trying to convince amtico technical department to take a look at it, but they seem reluctant

    You will struggle to get amtico to look at it unless their product has defects, not because you don't like the way it's turned out 'after' you agreed to it.
    We get what you are saying but unless you can pull out a serious fault other than how crap the border looks then you are on a very steep hill battle.

    If it was fitted with the border without your say so then you would have had more ammo to fire at them (and that would have still been a struggle) but Amtico will not tell the company that it looks gash and it must be changed.

    Did you pay the whole bill upfront??

    Wouldn't of looked as bad with a contrasting feature strip and mitred corners imo, although I agree pleated Herringbone looks best fitted to skirts with no border

    And set out is about an inch out in hallway from front door, should be more central with front door so the drop backs have an equal cut, the border makes that stand out, no border you wouldn't pick that up unless looking for it

    Yes I have paid the bill... I think some of the attitudes are a little poor.. I took advice from a qualified installer... who told me it would look better! So what was I to think... shoddy attitudes and shit work will lead to you tube reviews like the one I'm putting together which will cost amtico and fitters thousands. Any one considering the very high price tag may reconsider when it is apparent that you can't trust fitters on an approved list for the product and then after sails service consists of "tough shit mate" not a good business plan for the future in my opinion. And tbh nothing short of cowboy attitude.. I've even offers to pay to have it sorted out and I'm getting little to no help... we will see... but as a customer of the amtico brand as a whole... not impressed

    Why did you settle the bill if your not happy with the finish? It’s on the floor now. Should of been more planning and communication on this job. Maybe a picture to show you what it would look like? Unfortunately the approved/qualified installer means nothing as your finding out and really needs to be looked at.

    The general discourse towards someone who has took the opinion of a registered amtico fitter.. like merit has just mentioned it counts for nothing.. and that's letting customers down in my opinion.

    Don’t see how you can blame Amtico ?
    The product is top notch.

    They asked you if you wanted a border and you agreed didn’t you?

    Tell the shop you want the border taking out and the Amtico fitted to the skirts. You can get that colour and can still have it made into pleat design.

    This is kind of the point! I have asked amtico and they have told me I can't have anymore of the same colour and the fitter has refused to do anything! I have asked for the border to be removed and offered to pay and he has refused. Have your read the thread? I'm not going to keep repeating myself... I was advised to have the border fitted because it would look better! It clearly doesn't. I will try amtico again to see if they will help.. the customer blaming is very alarming and is showing the same attitude of the shit fitters in the first place. I'll leave it there and place my reviews in relevant places.. and the fitters will have to deal with the knock on effects to their business.

    You need to calm down, No good getting pi**ed off with us because you agreed to something then changed your mind after because it doesnt look as good as you wanted it to.
    You should have done more research regardless whether the fitter said it'll look better with the border that way, he believes it does but you don't. All we are doing is giving you advice in our opinions and experience.

    All this you tube and public shaming you keep blasting on about will do nothing but if that's what makes you feel better then you do what you got to do. The public will see that a customer is throwing his dummy out of the pram after a agreed to something regardless whether you knew better or not.

    If I fitted a job that my customer agreed to then tells me they don't like it then depending how they have gone about it then I would be willing to sort it out, I've done this a handful of times.

    With you whining on threatening them with slander because that's what it is due to you agreeing the job then I don't blame the fitter for not wanting to deal with you anymore. Slag me off or put me in the same bucket as the 'fitters with attitude' I'm being honest.

    Hope you get the outcome you want and good luck

    No I haven’t bothered reading the thread I just posted that up for a laugh.

    You don’t seam to listen do ya.
    Amtico have done nothing wrong !!!!!!!

    The fitter asked you if you wanted a border and you said Yes!!!!!! You and the fitter should of pre laid a few planks out to see if you like it.

    Your problem is with the company who laid it not Amtico.
    You are on here asking for advice and now being sarcastic because you do t like some of the answers.

    To say Amtico don’t do that plank anymore I’d say you are misinformed. What colour and code is it ?

    Agree with the lads on here.
    You need to wind your neck in and listen to the advise given.
    Amtico are not to blame
    The product is not to blame
    The retailer/fitter/you need to sort this between yourselves
    Is the fitter employed by the retailer or is he a subby?

    Exactly the attitude I've encountered from bad advice a poor fitting.. I have not received any advice apart from.. tough luck.. rip it up.. your fault.. ask him to change it.. which I have done.. and he has refused... so unfortunately I won't be winding my neck in.. poor fitting and poor service for a very high price tag.. thanks for the "advice"

    The fitter did not ask me if I wanted a border.. he told me it was the best option to make it look correct, and when I asked to go with out it.. convinced me other wise on his experience.. again... more customer blaming..
