Hi All
So I'm getting the hall/stairs/landing carpets replaced and have had a
quote from a major company.
I've fitted carpets myself in the past (grippers, underlay etc. not just
rubber backed stuff), but it takes me too long and I couldn't be arsed
this time round.
Now this large shop has suggested, of course, their own 6mm rubber
underlay. If I get the underlay online I'll save half the cost, but that
is partly offset with the shop offering free fitting.
So, the questions a
1) Is CarpetRight (oops, let that slip) underlay any good?
2) Is 6mm recommended for high traffic areas?
Ta.

It is going to depend on the quality of carpet fitted. If a cheap one
which is going to have a short life, cheap (free) underlay might last as
long. But it won't last the life of a decent carpet. If a decent carpet,
you want something like Cloud 9.
