Hiring a carpet fitter: what to check

Carpet fitters measure and fit carpets, underlay and other flooring, and take up and dispose of old flooring.

  • Check whether the price includes underlay, gripper rods, door bars and taking away the old carpet.
  • Ask about moving furniture and trimming doors if the new flooring is thicker.
  • Get an accurate measure before you buy, so you are not paying for too much.
