Are local carpet fitters required to have insurance?

Carpet fitters are not legally required to have insurance, but it is highly recommended. Most professional carpet fitters will have public liability insurance to cover any accidental damage to your property during installation. Always ask for proof of insurance before hiring a carpet fitter near you.

Do carpet fitters offer guarantees on their work?

Yes, carpet fitters typically offer a guarantee on their work. This can range from a few months to several years, depending on the fitter and the type of carpet installation. Be sure to check the terms of the guarantee, which should cover any issues arising from poor workmanship.

Do carpet fitters provide underlay, or should I supply my own?

Some carpet fitters include underlay in their service, while others expect you to supply it separately. Underlay improves comfort and insulation, so discuss this beforehand to ensure it’s factored into your budget.

How long does a typical carpet fitting job take?

The duration depends on the size and complexity of the job. A single room might be fitted in a few hours, while whole-home carpet installations or multi-room projects could take several days.

Can carpet fitters work around existing furniture?

Yes, carpet installers can usually fit carpets around furniture, or rearrange items if arranged beforehand. For large or complex rooms, it’s best to discuss this with your carpet fitter before the job starts.

Carpets & Lino- 29 Jun 2024
While laying vinyl for me this man informed me that he knew someone I went to college with but refused to tell me who. Sadly he didn’t have the same discretion while discussing me (a potential client) with his friends before taking the job. He told me my new house was in a bad area and asked how much I paid for it. Stupidly I told him. He no doubt ran back to his friend to tell them. Of course what I should have said was it’s none of his business and he was highly unprofessional. Therefore I wouldn’t recommend him.

We were very impressed with the speed and professionalism of Gary's work. He fitted our 2 children's bedroom carpets in approx. 1 hour and did a great job. We called him back a while later to fit our kitchen flooring and again he was finished in record time with a perfect finish. He is tidy and cleans up after himself and we cannot fault his work. We would be happy to recommend his services to all. A reliable workman who turns up on time and completes the job efficiently and professionally. Thanks Gary.
