    Some people don't like outside footwear being worn in the house which is fine especially if you have light carpets.

    Then it would be a good idea to buy a box of disposable overshoes
    £3.99 for a box of 100 from Screwfix for delivery and tradesmen to wear.

    You are late to the party.

    Such overshoes were suggested earlier in the thread and it was pointed out that many delivery agents already now bring their own such overshoes to avoid any such claim as in this thread....

    seems to me like you invited them in and failed to lay paper down or ask them to remove their muddy boots.
    Probably wouldn't be allowed to remove footwear, particularly if it's safety footwear when delivering heavy objects.

    When IKEA delivered to me I'd to sign then hadn't caused any damage, did you not?
