Z3MCJez Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Quick sense check please. Have found a local carpet fitter who we would like to support but I'm just trying to make sure we're not paying £hundreds over the odds. 3 bedrooms - lift, new underlay, and dispose of old carpet. Reuse edging bits. £400 plus new carpet at c. £20-£25/sqm. (47sqm) Views? Thanks, Jez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonL Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Does the £400 include the new underlay? That can be as much as the carpet itself if you get carried away. I always buy the underlay myself (screwfix sell good stuff much cheaper than carpet shops). The actual fitting of underlay and carpet is about £40-50 for a good sized room.

Z3MCJez Posted June 25, 2014 Author Share Posted June 25, 2014 Yes, 10mm underlay included. I haven't really focused on this - should I? Jez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonL Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 I would - I am sure that this is where they make their biggest margin! However if you want to support your local carpet fitter then maybe not! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red SLR Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 We paid £1775 for 4 bedrooms, 1 landing and 2 sets of stairs at the back end of last year. Only bit that was re-used was the gripper rods. They disposed of the old stuff, and that price included the underlay, labour and new carpet. Took almost a full day to do - we have 2 sets of stairs so that prob added time / cost.
