We've got a small nursery/home office that I want to put carpet in. I've put a post out on MyBuilder but have had no bites for quotes, probably because its a pretty small job (2.4x2.7m). I've not been to CarpetRight or Tapi yet but thats my next port of call but foresee the cost to have the room done quite high from a place like that.
Which got me to thinking, how hard is it to actually fit carpet? Ive found someone selling a roll of new 8mm underlay for £20, grip rods cost £7 for enough for the room and someone is selling a carpet stretcher for £10 on marketplace near me. Aside from the carpet cost i'm thinking about taking a punt on doing it myself as I think anyone who does come to quote is going to quote something ridiculous because its a relatively small job.
