Cost of laying a new carpet?

Curry_Queen

Could anyone give me a rough estimate of how much it would cost to lay a carpet in a room approx 4m x 6m please?

Also, would the cost be considerably cheaper if the underlay and gripper rods are already in place, so it's just a case of laying and fitting the actual carpet?

Cheers

Allied quoted me £2.65 per sq mtre recently, for fitting and £8.99 for decent underlay. I didnt take them up on their offer. A local carpet fitter ( found him in the local paper) did the job for £50. I already had the gripper and underlay

We just had 3 bedrooms carpeted, cost us £25 per room for the fitter on top of the carpet, I dont know how much the gripas were the underlay we went for a slightly better one and it was £4.50 a metre square. local family run carpet shop. the same carpet in Allied was £27/sm we paid £17.99

Thanks, but it's not something I'm looking to have done, just checking on rough prices to make sure someone isn't getting ripped off by an ex-landlord!
