    Yeah. DON'T.


    Carpet fitting is one thing that looks quite straight forward but is very easy to mess up.


    For £40 you will get a qualified fitter to do it properly.


    Bit of a no brainer really.
    Eat vegetables and fear no creditors, rather than eat duck and hide.

    I'd second that. Carpet fitting is not expensive so why risk a dodgy DIY job? Qualified fitters are well worth the money IMO.

    Agreed, whilst possible to diy, it is a hard job. I've done it a few times and you need a stretcher to get it looking acceptable. One job that's definitely worth paying for.
    Some people don't exaggerate........... They just remember big!
