Fair enough...hence the tip...

Just one thing...'Admin costs?'

What admin costs are required to nail a bit of carpet to a floor?

Yes, they may have at some point had to have my name, address, and the amount to charge...but that's gotta be pretty much it.

And 'half that' is still £20 an hour, which isn't too bad considering.

ooh, actually, I've just remembered, they threw in some carpet grippers in too F.O.C, so I take back all I said about them - they rock!

When I got mine fitted
I paid for the living room & bedroom, but ended up with the hall and the inside of 3 cupboards all carpeted and beautifully fitted (lots of leftovers of a conveniently correct size)- free of charge.

Carpet Fitting guys do indeed rock!
