if the carpet goes under a fitted wardrobe it makes changing the carpet in future harder and also why pay for several square meters of carpet you will never see!
Nail on the head there, thanks

Sorry to resurrect a really old thread but I am now in the process of redecorating a house where a fitted wardrobe has been installed OVER a carpet that needs replacing. I have been able to pull up the carpet to where the wardrobe doors are, but I am yet to get the carpet out from inside the wardrobe and from under the bottom slide rail.
Am I really gonna have to take the whole thing down to get the carpet out from underneath the slide rail?
Or is there another way to get a new carpet down without needing to get all of the old one up?
Many thanks.

No need to remove the wardrobe or old carpet underneath. Just cut round then fit the new carpet up to the wardrobe.
You're overthinking it otherwise, unless of course the old carpet under the wardrobe had water damage or was disintegrating etc.
You'd just about see the old carpet that way though. Unless your new underlay and carpet is thicker than the old one. Naturally the end of the carpet is tucked round a gripper so the edges are dipped slightly.
Argh, someone who hasn't read the necro'ed post.Argh, necro.
Flip equation is that PAX unless installed in a permanent way are just as changeable as a carpet. And just as flimsy that having to change them isn't that bonkers of a thought.Wardrobes then carpet
What are you going to do when you change the carpet

Haha touche on the move house point. My pax are fitted semi permanent. If I took them with me I'm leaving them carpet but I've taken the skirtingDamn, thought you were going to say move house
Yes, to be fair the carpet will probably outlast the wardrobes
I have recently finished out bedroom with PAX and hat it sat ON the carpet without issue, I did this just to cover all bases should we wish to move the room around later on in the year. so far so good this hasn't happened but with a woman anything can happen.
