Am I being ripped off?

Hello,


I'm replacing the carpet in my childrens bedroom and have had a quote from a local carpet shop for ?320 to fit the carpet. This does not include underlay (they will use exisintg underlay from old carpet) or the actual carpet, just the fitting. Is this a normal price for carpet fitting? The room is a standard shape and measures 3.6 x 2.9m. Is this round about the usual price or am I being ripped off?!

My friend recently had a new carpet laid in her one bed flat - hallway, stairs, bedroom and living room. C 40 sqm


It cost ?200 for fitting, ?5 per square meter for basic underlay and ?10 per square meter for a basic off the roll carpet. Shop was carpet giant in Croydon/Purley way.

    • If someone comes to my house and bangs my door and slams my gate, I'd speak to them about it nicely and ask if they would please not do that. And then subsequently less nicely if they keep doing it, ending in reporting them.  We don't slam doors at home and I don't put up with that either. I can see us moving to a culture where we bribe drivers to be nice by tipping them, but we shouldn't have to. It's not necessary - does not matter if they are on minimum wage or not, or if society means that delivery services are outsourced or whatever reason anyone would like to concoct.     
    • We’ve got a gap on the roof of our shed that needs patching  don’t want to buy a huge roll so hoping someone has some leftover  happy to collect/reimburse 
    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.
