Quicker, easier, cheaper... Or a better job. The age old conundrum.

This is at work though, I might not be here in 5 years.

Carpets in industrial premises tend to be somewhat different to
domestic carpets especially for areas in corridors where there is high
foot traffic. For domestic, people want a longer softer pile whereas
in most industrial premises or shops it appears to need short hard
wearing pile. Where I've seen carpet being laid in offices it has been
100% glued to the floor - presumably to stop a thinner product from
buckling and forming a trip hazard.

If I was doing that i'd need to do something with the floor, we're
dealing with old gnarly floorboards.

But it certainly won't be heavy traffic. It's a room I intend for my
office in an upstairs corner where i'm planning to work like a recluse.

Hardboard? Then if you don't want the comfort/insulation of underlay you
could use spray adhesive for a foam or plastic backed carpet.
