Grippers - do I need them?

For fitted carpet, it's far better to use them, unless
the carpet is to be stuck down. They're cheap, you know.

Paying someone £25 to do it for me, It will prob take me ages to work
out exactly how to put the grippers in etc etc - he can prob do it in
under an hour, i will make a note to watch eactly what he does and
how for next time!

are you sure you're not a woman? and blond at that. :-)

The place where you bought the carpet would have supplied and fitted
carpet/underlay and grippers, for what you've laid out up to now.


Indeed! I bought the carpet on Sunday and I had 'unforseen' problems which
meant I would have missed any date had I agreed for that anyway (would have
been within 1 or 2 days fitting) - so its prob worked out a bit easier for
me by not ordering delivery at the time.

I haven't laid out anything yet for fitting......
