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.

    • I am  ill in bed with Covid. It's not that I "can't be bothered" to read things. I am feeling crap and don't have the energy at the moment. I am not "brushing stuff aside and pleading ignorance." I am truthfully saying when I don't presently know enough about something to comment. I have always been very careful to try to  differentiate between fact and opinion in my posts, and I am not clear what your point is. And I am certainly not trying to wind anybody up. This is a forum. If you don't want to respond to my posts, that's up to you. I'm not sure why you feel the need to announce it.   
    • @NewWave I know how you feel. Like you, I've lived and spent prolonged periods of time in some pretty crazy places and always thought I could handle a bunch of kids. But, no - they got to me and I was shaking like a leaf afterwards. That's what age does to us.  But I did engage with them, so bear that in mind.  My advice would be to never let anything like that stop you doing the things you love. I'm certainly not going to stop using the park, there's no way they get to take away our cherished spaces!  If you see them, just change tack and keep out of their way. My dog won't even go that way again, so that's that problem solved. (If I see them again, I'm going to keep taking photos from a safe distance).
