Carpets 4 Less FAQs
We can absolutely help to arrange fitting for your new Carpets4less flooring. Professional independent fitters are able to fit a variety of flooring such as carpet, luxury vinyl tiles, laminate, vinyl flooring, underlay and accessories, anywhere in your home. Whether you want carpet on your stairs or laminate in your living room, they can do it all! Fitting is an additional service that’s paid directly to the fitter on the day of installation. Please contact us for a fitting quote.
If you need the fitters to move furniture out of your room(s) before fitting new flooring, that can be arranged! In general, it’s best to get as much furniture out of the room as possible due to carpets being stretch fitted. The fitters can remove a reasonable amount of empty furniture from the room. If the furniture that needs to be removed is heavy or large and requires more than one person to lift it, please inform us when you’re placing your order so we can make the fitters aware. Please note, the fitters are unable to move electrical or plumbed in items. Also please note that the basic fitting charge is based on room being free of furniture. Additional fees apply for furniture moving.
Once you’ve placed an order with us, we can arrange for a professional independent fitter to take up your old flooring and remove it for you, too. There will be a charge for this uplift and removal service, payable to the fitter on the day of the fitting. The cost for uplifting and removing your old carpet and underlay varies, depending on how much old flooring needs to be removed and how easy it is to remove. We only offer this extra service to customers who’ve ordered new carpet or flooring with us.
We can provide a quotation and order your flooring without a Home Visit if you have your own measurements available. In some circumstances, such as for stairs and landings, we may prefer to send our skilled estimators out to view your home to ensure the future installation is carried out smoothly. As a general rule, we only need the widest and longest points to the area, measure in whatever format you are comfortable with, we will allow for any tolerances.
Not at all! We want to offer you the flexibility of choosing who installs your new flooring. We recommend letting us arrange fitting with a professional independent fitter, but if you plan to fit the carpet yourself or make your own arrangements then please do so. Please note that all flooring must be checked for faults and correct sizes before it is installed.
The fitting guarantee is available when your carpet is purchased together with underlay and accessories, and when your fitting service is arranged by us with a professional independent fitter. The carpet must stay in the original location and cannot be moved or tampered with, and should be maintained according to the manufacturers recommendations. We’ll guarantee your satisfaction for the same amount of time that is the same as the manufacturers warranty time. Please keep your receipt for proof of purchase.
From uplifting and removing your old flooring, to preparing your new subfloor with screed or ply board, the fitters can carry out a range of additional services if required. If you arrange to have your home measured before ordering, we can highlight any additional services you may need and discuss the options available. Many of the independent fitters we use will trim doors, but not all of them do, so please mention this to us if you need this service.
We can arrange to uplift and dispose of your old flooring before laying your new flooring; however, this is an additional service which is added onto the fitting charge. We always advise customers to uplift their own flooring as it can become quite a messy job if you’ve had your flooring down for a long time!
Some of the independent fitters we use offer door trimming as an additional service if it’s needed, although they are unable to perform this task on fire doors for safety reasons. If you’re worried your new carpet might not fit with your current doors, please let a member of staff in-store know so we can advise you accordingly. We also have local carpenters we can recommend if required.
A member of Team Tapi will provide you with a quote for fitting your new flooring when discussing your flooring purchase. We’re unable to provide a quote for fitting flooring not purchased from Carpets4less, and we don’t fit or supply artificial grass.
