3940mmIs it 4m or 4 and a bit. Most rolls are 4m
For 28sqm does sound a lot but no idea what carpet/ underlay it is.
What would you say is reasonable? They've got to make a living after allBeen reading this thread and have found some brilliant tips.
Problem I have is trying to find a carpet fitter who isn't over charging or maybe my expectations are a little to much? My friend has been given a 1 bed apartment by the council with no flooring and I estimate it is roughly 50 Sqm (not measured up yet as I've been working away). She has had 1 quote of £2200 to carpet and vinyl. carpet 2 rooms and hallway + vinyl kitchen and bathroom). I've suggested to her to buy the carpets online and just pay for a fitter. He came round and quoted her £600 to just do the fitting saying he charges £6 sqm to fit which doesn't add up.
Is that a reasonable price? I don't think it is!
i'd say for a tradesmen £300 for a day would be reasonable if they are good especially when they can do the job in half a day.
Yeah, £11.99 Sqm, really nice carpet with the thick underlay.Is that including the carpets aswell?
It was a place called paradise carpets in Redditch, family run business, should have been around £450 but they knocked the price down to secure the business.Cracking price! Where was that from? I’m outside of brum aswell.

These prices are rather surprising, i paid £390 for 2 rooms, 21ftx17ft and 10ftx5ft, 11mm cloud9 underlay and fitting. Benefits of living outside of Birmingham![]()
I noticed you're in glasgow. I know a guy who is local and will fit for £100. However you need to buy carpet off him as well. I managed to get him to do 2 bedrooms, hallway and stairs for £400 all in (carpet and fitting costs) if i remember correctly but he used the old underlay that was there previously. It may have been £340 actually can't remember it was 3 years back. Anyway it will be a ton cheaper than the guy quoting you £600 for labour alone.
If you want his phone number send me a trust message. That included the initial visit out to choose the carpet, etc. He will come to your home with samples he has thousands of them in his van.
You won't find cheaper than this guy. He is independent and we have been using him for 15 years now. Good quality carpet too. Had mine 3 years now still looks brand new.
