Carpet laying is easier than plumbing, just do it yourself!
Might be to you, but it's not to me. If you want a neat job, that

I'll second that. I'll do any job on our house except for carpet laying
and whole-room plastering. I am not good enough to get a decent finish,
and I don't have enough rooms to practice on.

Especially the hall - stairs - landing bit

Also, a simple mistake can be quite costly
