Carpet fitter needed and questions answered


Sally

Recommended Posts

We are looking for a new carpet for our lounge and wanted some advice regarding carpet fitting. It's a long room so was hoping that the carpet could be laid without us moving the larger items of furniture out of it - just moving say the sofas down the other end while it was laid from one end etc. Never having brought a carpet before we had a couple of questions about how fitting normally works - we tried an online supplier and they werent very helpful!

Our questions are ..

1. Could a carpet be fitted without removing all the items such as sofas and a sideboard or do we need to vlear the room completely

2. Would most fitters be happy to move furniture around the room As they worked?

3. Would a fitter usually remove the old carpet and dispose of it?


Any advice would be great plus recommendations of good fitters of course


Thanks

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Stephen Tozer (he has a thread here somewhere).


In answer to your questions:

1 Yes the room needs to be clear

2 Often fitters will charge extra for this but I expect it depends on how many items and who the fitter is

3 Again depends on the fitter and they may charge you for disposal

    • Hello! We are relocating abroad and so will be withdrawing our two children (ages 4 and 6) from St Dunstan’s College (Catford). If any family is considering enrolling children of a similar age, now would be an excellent opportunity—we’re required to pay full‑term fees unless the places are taken. Please get in touch if you’re interested or know someone who might be. Thank you!
    • Hi  I really thought I'd seen a more recent post on the forum about home education meet ups. I can't find it though.

    • Thanks for your reply. I’ve subscribed to Ancestry a few times in the past but felt I wasn’t using it enough to warrant keeping up the subscription.    
    • Hi, I saw your post and just wanted to say that the incident you’re referring to did happen in the late 1980s at Dawson’s Heights. The person involved was named Carl Salawa, and he had just turned 18 years old at the time. Like you, I haven’t been able to find any news articles or official reports about it, If anyone remembers anything more about that time or incident, I’d really appreciate hearing about it. Thanks for sharing what you were told—it means a lot to know others remember.
