Having a new carpet fitted can be a disruptive process, but our fitters will do their best to make sure that the job is completed as quickly and smoothly as possible. There are, however, a few things that you can do to make things easier.
- We ask that you move as much furniture as you can, including treasured possessions such as crockery and ornaments before the fitting. We understand that this can be a problem for the elderly, disabled and single people, so please let our estimator know of any problems you may have with clearing the area. The estimator will then note any large items of furniture down, and this information will be passed on to the fitters.
Most craftsmen are best left alone to get on with the job. However, a cup of tea is always welcome and will give you a chance to discuss the job with the fitters.
When choosing a new carpet there are several things you need to consider. You may want to ask yourself these questions to help you decide:
- How much wear will the carpet have to cope with? For example, hallways and areas with heavy traffic will need a more hardwearing carpet than for a bedroom or lightly used area.
- Do you have children, pets or allergies? If so, you may want to consider a carpet with built in stain resistance or vinyl flooring that will not harbour allergens.
- How will the carpet fit in with your colour scheme? A carpet can really draw the scheme of a room together. You may want to consider whether the carpet should be patterned or plain, pale or dark, so that it complements your existing decoration. For that reason we will always allow and encourage you to take samples home (at no charge) as you then ensure they fit in with your colour scheme.
