How to prepare your room for carpet fitting

At Carpet Plus we move furniture as part of the job — beds, drawers, that kind of thing. What we do ask is that you empty out any units first so they’re light enough to shift safely. A chest of drawers full of clothes is a different proposition to an empty one.

If you’ve got anything particularly heavy or awkward, just mention it when you book and we can talk it through.

Can't thank Lewis enough for his prompt service with installing a carpet for me. I was faced with a situation where I required an last minute replacement of a carpet. After calling him at the end of the day he attended first thing in the morning and had the job completed within 2 1/2 hours of measuring up. Very satisfied with the level of service I received from Carpet Plus.

I highly recommend the team at Carpet Plus  for anyone in need of carpet installation services. From start to finish, the entire experience was so simple and clear. The team was professional, efficient, and friendly throughout the process and so tidy. They took the time to understand my needs and preferences, and provided valuable recommendations that resulted in a beautiful finished product. The quality of their work exceeded my expectations, and I couldn't be happier with the end result. I will definitely be using their services again in the future, and would encourage anyone looking for reliable and skilled carpet installers to give them a call.

What about the old carpet?

We can take away your old carpet and underlay for you. There’s an additional charge for this to cover disposal costs. If you’d rather save the money, you’re welcome to roll it up and take it to your local tip yourself — most councils accept carpet at household waste recycling centres for free.

Underlay for carpet fitting — what you need to know

We supply and fit underlay as part of almost every carpet fitting job. Even if your existing underlay looks fine, we’d always recommend replacing it at the same time. Laying a new carpet over old underlay is a false economy — the underlay will deteriorate underneath and affect the feel and lifespan of your new carpet. It’s not worth the risk.

How long does carpet fitting take?

A standard bedroom carpet fitting takes anywhere from 30 minutes to a couple of hours depending on the size, how much furniture needs moving, whether there’s uplift involved and whether new gripper rods need fitting. We’ll always give you a realistic timeframe when we visit.

On the day

Try to have the room as clear as possible when we arrive. The quicker we can get set up, the sooner you’ve got a freshly fitted carpet. Preparing your room for carpet fitting the night before makes a real difference.
