Coulsdon and Old Coulsdon - Shopping around Coulsdon

We have returned to Keith Harris Carpets for a second time having had a great end to end service the first time we used them. On that occasion it was to cover our landing, stairs and living room, this time we are renewing carpet in the bedrooms. The store offers a great deal of choice, the staff are friendly and knowledgeable and the prices are reasonable.

Unfortunately after visiting this store we just could not bring ourselves to make a purchase. It felt like a typical sales pitch, especially on one visit where the salesman used a coin on some floor to show it wouldn't scratch, and it did! We've ultimately bought from Image Carpets around the corner twice.

Really nice staff and the ladie who done my eye brows wow the difference is amazing I had bushes for eye brows and I came out so happy :) all over a good experience

Visited today to relax before I have my baby. Had several treatments. Massage was nice but didn't really feel that my other treatments were particularly relaxing, I was there for a couple of hours but switched rooms 3 times for my different treatments and felt small touches like music was missing for the Pedicure as well as somewhere to hang clothes for the Waxing. Value for money was good but overall could have been more relaxation ambience.

I have visited Precious Moments, today for some waxing and my eye brows tinted, as I have always received a great service since I first visited 2 years ago. I would strongly recommend Precious Moments to all my friends and family, and would also never be tempted to visit another beauty salon, the service is amazing and all the girls are lovely.

Great service from Laura each and every time. Highly recommend!

Thank you Ellie at Charlie Brown Cousdon for doing my half head of foils today.I was really pleased with the colour and the great cut and finish.I will see you in six weeks or so for the full head!

Very friendly owners of this local newsagent. Buy all your sweets, papers, tobacco etc plus lottery and oyster. Serves alcohol and store food items.

Friendly and helpful, if things not in stock very fast ordering

I found the guys at BCSS to be a knowledgeable team that is willing to go the extra mile to deliver a great service. Would highly recommend for car security needs

[UPDATE - 13/12/2016] I have purchased a car from them on 14/11/2016. I would like to add to my review they are very honest and told me everything about the car, what needed replacing etc. Was fully informed about what modifications were on the car. They did a lot of work on the car including MOT before selling it to me. The car has been running very well mechanically so far with only a few minor issues but does not affect convenience (was informed before purchase) [Original Review 15/09/2016] I had a number of jobs done by these guys in the past year. Very swift and quality service every time. I've sent a few of my friends here to get work done as well with no issues. Out of all the places I've visited only BCSS provided proper customer service, was welcoming, polite and even showed a genuine interest like a true audio enthusiast. I would certainly recommend everyone who is interested in aftermarket audio to come specifically here.

Purchased an Audi A4 through Clive, I have had an easy ,polite and helpful transaction, having lost a couple of cars whilst waiting for an inheritance to clear,I found the car I wanted and am very happy with it. I got a reasonable offer to trade in my Skoda,we buy any car offered £500 less what Audi did, so again an easy transaction. At this moment I cannot fault Coulsdon Audi

Collected our new S5 today and could not praise them highly enough - sales person Toby Nash was outstanding from placing the order to collection. Well done guys, you have showed how to deliver excellent customer service.

Purchased a vehicle from Renault Croydon and what can I say! What a great experience! Nothing was too much for them, they went out of their way to provide me a great experience. The car wasn't there when I initially came in (probably should of called ahead beforehand!!). I test drove a similar model and Daniel the salesman even shot me a video of the car when it arrived!!! I will be recommending Renault Croydon to all my friends and family!!

Recently bought a new Renault Megane from Renault Croydon. I had a great experience buying from them and got fantastic, in fact the best customer service I have ever had. The salesman James completely understood all my needs and helped me find my perfect car. Throughout the process I got regular updates on my car and when it will be delivered. When it was delivered I got a awesome video of it arriving at the dealership, fresh off of the transporter. Overall I would recomend Renault, specifically Renault Croydon to anyone, it was fantastic and easy experience.

Good friendly staff. I leased my car with Beadles and they have just serviced my car which was very good. Cleaned car inside and out as well

Unlike other car showrooms, at Beadles you don't feel hassled. You get asked once if you need help in a relaxed way and if you want to just walk around there's no pressure

Looking for a replacement vehicle. Staffs were welcoming. I felt relaxed and came out with a deal. Success.

Does the job. The man offering to pump my petrol was unnecessary.

Open earlier in the morning

Convenient store is open late for locals.

After mixed experiences at bike dealers in Scotland, loyalty to any dealer wasn't of concern to me. I was only interested in price and getting the best deal for my money. Doble came recommended by a couple of friends so I phoned and spoke to Paul. Initially I was looking for an Africa Twin and Paul offered me a great deal, but thinking it over, I had to pass up on the Africa as it was just a bit too much of a stretch financially. Instead I went for a new NC750X and again Paul did me a great deal... Hopefully I'll be in a position to trade-in for the Africa Twin next year, but Doble will be my first port of call due to this being the most straightforward bike purchase I've ever made, as well as the best deal. It was a pleasure dealing with these guys, from placing my deposit on the Friday afternoon, the bike was ready for me the following Tuesday morning. Got the 06:40 flight down from Edinburgh and I rode the bike the 439 miles back up to East Lothian in a oner and was home for 18:30. Wouldn't hesitate to buy this way again. Thanks Doble!

I bought this Honda Forza 125 scooter from Doble back in March 2017, as I was getting back ache from my previous bike after only having it for lest than 4 weeks, (Kawasaki J125) and I must admit that I really really like this scooter, it's keyless and the start stop system is amazing and most of all it is very comfortable to ride. I travel 40 miles round trip to and from work and it's a breeze. I wish I got this one earlier. It's very economical too, the Doble sales team (Paul) was right I get a healthy 280 miles out of a full tank with more to spare. To be honest I can't fault this scooter, it's brilliant on the dual carriageways, much better than I thought if I'm honest. I don't have to worry about getting my full license as I'm very happy with my Forza.

Had to go to a meeting in Coulsdon today today Just as I turned off the main road my warning light for low tyre pressure came on. I drive a BMW but I popped into Coulsdon Doble anyway! Nice gentleman receives me, tells me everybody is at lunch but he will deal with it. A few minutes later my bike is back with two tyres up to the correct pressure. I offer him some money for a pint, he won't have it. We are all bikers, he says. Good for you sir. More of you and Manchester would not happen!

Great service.. Easy finance options

brought 2 motorbikes from Doble, the staff could not have been more helpful. also the after care was great, I highly recommend them for all your biking needs

Deez buys

Very friendly charity store with great staff, just the parking can be a bit of a nightmare! But some great bargains and the majority of stock is good to excellent quality at very good prices

I had never been to this shop before but I loved the customer care and the service . The whole experience of shopping in this shop was so relaxed and comfortable.

I went to Lucindas earlier today to look for a wedding outfit for my mum for my brothers wedding. With quite a difficult brief, Jenny, Katie and the rest of the team were absolutely amazing. Jenny let my mum try on as much as she liked and was really helpful when it came to styles etc. We were in the shop for at least 3 hours and the girls provided us with drinks, food and lots of giggles! They even let me try on a wedding dress! The seamstress was on hand to help with alterations to the outfit my mum bought which was great! I cannot recommend the team and shop enough! From the welcome to the goodbyes, they we're fantastic. I strongly recommend anyone to go in for any type of outfit! Thank you so much again ladies!

I’ve been a Compucare employee for almost a year now. The atmosphere is great here - it’s easy to communicate thoughts & ideas. The company has a good structure, so you know what’s expected of you. Yet, it's all nicely balanced - there's enough freedom to encourage initiative & enhance job satisfaction. Thank You, Compucare.

I have been using compucare for over 10 years, fast friendly service and always their when I need them.

I Love to be able to cope with technology but, sometimes it just beats me. Alex, at Kypoth Systems, does a wonderful job of putting me on the right track. When my computer is failing to perform at 100% I have complete confidence calling the Kypoth number and the PC is always returned to supreme working order with the attention given. You can rely on excellent and friendly service.

I used Kypoth to repair my laptop screen and thought it was a amazing service! I dropped my laptop and managed to break the screen and was terrified when I called up a lot of shops and they quoted me between 120-180 pounds! Then I was amazed when I contacted Kypoth and was quoted 70 pounds for the same procedure. I dropped off my laptop on Monday and by Wednesday it was ready. The screen is now completely fixed and works perfectly for under half what some places were quoting for a service which no doubt would have taken even longer. Kypoth was a great service it's affordable and is very quick I would gladly recommend the service to anyone and will definitely return if anything else happens to my laptop.

I absolutely love this place. It feels like Christmas every time I walk in. The soy candles smell amazing and I love opening them and smelling them.

What a fantastic store! Great handmade Soy candles, I love the strength of the scent and friendly staff. If you in the area I would recommend a visit.

I visited Amadeus last Thursday afternoon, the lady who was tending to the shop was stood outside while I was choosing some flowers, I ask if I could pay & she told me that she'd be with me momenterially. I waited inside the shop for over 10 minutes and she remained outside, I gestured to her that I was still waiting to which she took no notice. I then got fed up of being ignored so I left the flowers on the counter and left. I went back today, and dealt with two lovely ladies who informed me that the lady who ignored me was in fact the owner of the florists. The two ladies who helped me pick out flowers today were fantastic, & are the only reason I have given Amadeus 5 stars, if it wasn't for them I wouldn't rate this place a half a star.

I use this florist regularly and thought I would post a review just to say how helpful and cheerful I have always found the staff to be, then I noticed an earlier post , not so positive. Perhaps someone was just having a bad day ?

Excellent service. The delivery guy was helpful and more than prompt. Chair excellently packaged and protected. Superb quality and beautiful design. My husband is over the moon with his very comfortable birthday present. Shame he had to wait three days for the rain to stop to sit out on it!

I was given the Corido Banana Bench by my brother and sister for my birthday and love it. As it is an unusual shape I decided I would not make the cushion for it but buy it even though it is a bit expensive. I am really glad that I did as it is well made and the material is suitable for outside use so it was a good buy. Also the people at Corido, Linda and others whose names I do not know are all lovely and helpful. Thank you.

It's brilliant and has some many things packed in!

Love the staff so friendly and helpful

I've been popping in and out for a few years now. Always helpful and ready with advice. It never feels like you're pulling teeth. They always seem to have what I need, can get it or can point me in the right direction. EXACTLY what a proper shop should be always my first port-of-call.

Helpful staff and competitively priced good quality bathroom items.

Always helpful. Gets the job done. Well priced.

There s brake pad whilst cycling to Brighton. Popped in and was given parts and fitting straight away at a very good price. Thumbs up.

I always find the fellow in this shop really helpful. The shop looks great and if I cycled I'd dame well buy a bike from him. Top Banana.

Great customer service and fantastic value for money. I just wanted to take this opportunity to commend the customer care & service I recently received from the owner of Re-cycle, highly professional, extremely knowledgeable (on subject content), excellent communication skills whilst portraying a sincere warmth, hence, he represented the business with due diligence, this was my first visit and I will definitely be returning, furthermore, I will not hesitate in influencing & recommending Re-cycle to my business partners, colleagues, family and friends. Thank you Mrs Ferguson

Great service. I had by bike serviced last week and the quality of the service was exceptional and the price was reasonable as well.

Excellent srrvice. Dont néed a superstoe

Polite and helpful staff, excellent range of products at affordable prices.

Popped in for the first time ever, desperate for a part for my gas canister as having a BBQ. Lovely patient man helped me, despite near closing time!! Even gave me time to call home to check I was purchasing the right part. All worked out! Will definitely go back here first for any future hardware needs, before heading to anywhere else! Well done!

Great local store for bits and Bob you might need around the house. Friendly helpful staff

Not only are Young's often less expensive than the big DIY superstores, they are incredibly helpful. Many years ago I can remember inching along the Purley Way to visit B&Q - misery on stilts, as they say. Prices are lower than you might expect and they are incredibly helpful if you need advice. They'll also deliver free on all orders over £15.

They have been around for years. Really friendly and helpful. It is a small shop but they have a good selection and provide honest advice. Much nicer experience than the big chains. Prices are reasonable.

Absolutely amazing service!! I couldn't have asked for more - they went above and beyond for me! Ordered a Bosch washing machine in the evening and they delivered it the next day. They were so helpful! I definitely recommend them to anyone :)

Fantastic service. My Bosch machine was faulty, Steven was able to diagnose the issue by a few emails by having me do some simple tasks. He replaced a component and then talked me through some basic maintenance which completely restored the machine. I'm very happy with the service.

It has a lots of great stuff there that you can check out.

Lovely staff

Amazing

All Sites need Brymec

Good flower from knowledgeable florist

Excellent friendly service..............taking into consideration all the blunders.............made by me!! Many thanks.

1st class customer service , friendly and professional .

Stunning spot and great to see the building looking its best. Refurb has been done tastefully and looks great, and has kept the character. Excellent coffee and puts most chains to shame. Almond croissant and apricot danish possibly the best I've had outside of France. Can't wait to have an afternoon tea in the conservatory. Well done to the team and thank you Laura and Alex for taking the time, energy, and money to make this happen. Very heartening to see. Hopefully to become the best cafe in the Coulsdon/Woodcote/Purley area. Great start!

They've done a lovely job restoring this building - a really good blend of old and new, and the new conservatory out the back is a beautiful place for a coffee. Looking forward to many more visits.....

We always go for the £18 menu which I don't think is available Friday or Saturday nights. Where you can eat as much as you like from the set menu. The food is amazing and the staff really friendly. I can't recommend this place enough

Just super tasty and has the best set meal for one I've ever come across in terms of quality and value. I'm not lonely

Great food, always fresh and very tasty. Best in the area.

Best Chinese around, has never disappointed and staff are lovely too!

They helped us to identify a piece of family jewelry, in a friendly fashion and didn't charge us on this occasion.

Have had my rolex and my cartier serviced at walsh and saved hundreds of pounds in the process! I have since purchased an ebel and a brietling from them at a truely unbeatable price!Highly recommend them!

Brilliant shop. Always has stuff I like, unlike the main stream shops and reasonable prices.

Great staff. Great choices and decent prices.

Always helpful and free delivery over £ 35

They gave me my new cat everything there was i would need in the future

Played a week ago, just after the crazy amount of rain we had, and believe it or not, the course was very well drained. Greens were still in very good conditions, no temporary tees or greens at all. Some bunkers under repair but I would really recommend it for this time of year. Staff in the shop and the bar are welcoming and helpful. Reasonable prices too. A lot of development has gone into their driving range if you fancy a quick warm up prior to a round, be it their full 18 holes course, or their par 3 course.

Coaches at Oaks are very good and helpful. My coach Mr. Jon is a very nice man. He always encourages all of us and his coaching techniques are very good.

Proper coach run pro shop. Best service with good advice. Why go to one of those huge stores where they don't know the first thing about tennis? A pro shop saves you money by giving good advice in the first place so that you don't waste money buying the wrong gear.

A certain greedy bidder !! Has nothing on these guys excellent service would recommend

Ordered on Tuesday and delivered the next day. Good service and competitive price.

Absolutely amazing service!! I couldn't have asked for more - they went above and beyond for me! Ordered a Bosch washing machine in the evening and they delivered it the next day. They were so helpful! I definitely recommend them to anyone :)

1st class customer service , friendly and professional .

Friendly service. Great with kids.

The first time I used this shop , my experience was amazing. She was very relaxed allowing my to place an order and pay closer to the time. On the day of the party she arrived promptly on time and when 1 balloon burst on delivery she took the effort to go back to the shop and replace the balloon. I have just booked my second party with her and will definitely be saving this number and using her for my parties from now on! Highly recommended.

Cat did a wonderful job on my hair and make up for our short notice wedding. She made great suggestions and provided really valuable advice based on the style of my dress. Nothing was too much trouble, particularly during our practice session when she tried out several different hairstyles and was really keen to make sure I was happy with everything. She was (and still is) incredibly patient with our circumstances, and did everything possible to make our lives so much easier which was very much appreciated. And I got lots of tips on how to make sure my make up stayed looking lovely all day and night. In fact my make up still looked lovely the next morning, but don't tell her, because I'm sure she wouldn't approve of me not taking it off until the following day! Most importantly she was such a pleasure to have around - calming my nerves and being generally brilliant with what seemed like hordes of family and friends, and the photographer, who arrived whilst I (we!) were getting ready. I can't recommend her highly enough - if you're in any doubt, just book her now, but do it quickly or you'll miss out. Cat, thank you for being a big part of making our day so special.

Cat did my hair and makeup for our secret winter wedding a couple of weeks ago. I was ecstatic with what she did - I've never looked so good! She has the right combination of listening to what I did/didn't want and also making great suggestions based on her knowledge and experience but without being pushy in any way. She was super reliable too. I would highly recommend her and also the false eyelashes (a first for me!). My hair held all day whilst being comfortable and child-proof (we had our two young children with us). And to top it off, she's a lovely, cheerful person to be around :-)
