Slightly OT - Carpet Fitting Costs
Hello All
I've Just been looking at getting some carpet for upstairs. The area to be carpeted is 85sqm and the carpet is =A327 p/sqm. The price I was quoted includes door bars, underlay (cloud 9), grippers and also fitting. There are six doors. I would be intersted to hear from you guys what you think would be a resonable price for the lot. TIA Cheers Richard |

Underlay from the carpet supplier about £500, (although you could buy it on ebay for around £300). Or less still he http://www.discounted-carpet-underlay.co.uk/cloud9.html Fitting around £150 - £200 inclusive of bits and pieces. Unless you want stairs done as well, that costs more... -- Cheers, John. /================================================== ===============\ | Internode Ltd - http://www.internode.co.uk | |-----------------------------------------------------------------| | John Rumm - john(at)internode(dot)co(dot)uk | \================================================= ================/ |
Great and thanks to the both of you. The stairs will be included, how
much more for stairs? Cheers Richard |

In Manchester it tends to cost around £1.25 - £1.50 per sq.yd for rooms, and £1.75 - £2.00 per sq.yd. for Hall Stairs and Landing. -- Richard Faulkner |

Depends on how they price it - but if they were doing fixed price of say 30 per room then stairs might be 50 - 75. Some price rooms by the sq m however... -- Cheers, John. /================================================== ===============\ | Internode Ltd - http://www.internode.co.uk | |-----------------------------------------------------------------| | John Rumm - john(at)internode(dot)co(dot)uk | \================================================= ================/ |

They dont come much better than Cloud 9 -- Richard Faulkner |

Stockists love it, too, and will sell any amount of it to the trade (or anyone else) with the most profound feelings of pleasure! |

I use it under fairly cheap carpets, and it provides a soft cushion which makes them feel much more expensive. -- Richard Faulkner |

No, just that it's very popular because it's easy to lay - even easier than "normal" ribbed rubber. Roll it out, spot it down with spray glue, tape the seams[1], whizz off any bits, done.

It's fine[2], 'though I'm not sure how long it will last - ISTR you're in the letting business; it may be more appropriate than felt for that, depending on what you let, to who.

OK - I chose it, rather than having it sold to me, based on a variety of research. Not sure what I thought about felt at the time. I use it under fairly cheap carpets, and it provides a soft cushion which makes them feel much more expensive. It's fine[2], 'though I'm not sure how long it will last - ISTR you're in the letting business; Correct it may be more appropriate than felt for that, depending on what you let, to who. I hope so, but why do you think so? - I let reasonably specified flats, (which I would happily live in), to reasonable working people, who seem to look after them reasonably well - so far, so good g [1] Last two operations "optional" for most fitters. [2] however, I think a good felt is still the best! I'll certainly consider it for the next few flats - what makes and product would you recommend? -- Richard Faulkner |

I used some of the 10mm thick ("Cirrus" IIRC) recently. Seems as good or better than any of the rubber based underlays we have elsewhere. Can't tell you how long it will last yet though ;-) -- Cheers, John. /================================================== ===============\ | Internode Ltd - http://www.internode.co.uk | |-----------------------------------------------------------------| | John Rumm - john(at)internode(dot)co(dot)uk | \================================================= ================/ |
