Cheap carpet?

Hi All,

Can anyone recommend where I can buy carpet for a reasonable price?

I am carpeting a 3 x 4m bedroom and looking for a colour neutral carpet. I will be renting the room out so it must be durable/easy to clean - do I have to look for a particular type of carpet if I want this?

Thanks,
Pete.

    Local carpet shop - 3x4 is roll end territory.

    Go for 80% wool, 20% nylon fibre mix if you want durability and easy cleaning.

    Thanks,

    Do I need skirting boards in place to lay carpet?

    As I have completely stripped to room back.

    Bypass all the carpet shed chains and nip around the corner to your local shop/fitter. You will save a fortune and invariably get much better service.
