putting carpets back

[mutley racers]

How do you guys do it? I have had enough of using a hammer and chisel and am thinking of getting a knee kicker to dp the job. I think toolstation has one for around £40. Anyone got one?

I just use a screwdriver. Knees are bad enough without using one of them knee things After all im a pipe monkey not a carpet monkey.

No, surely you don't do that?

I got a copy of a british gas quote which in their terms and conditions it stated that a theird party must replace the floor boards. I couldne believe it

The best bet is to get in contact with a local carpet fitter and add the cost to the quote, I think customers like the idea of a carpet fitter putting the carpets back down "properly" as it shows a bit more respect to their property, and it's the last thing on my mind after an install when I'm trying to clear up and clear out to get the carpets down properly,

why not, I trained as a plumber, if its a corner of carpet not an issue, tap tap tap, if the whole carpet is rolled back then customer is responsible for sorting it out if need be, I dont want to be accused of overstretching a £4k carpet.

I see where you guys are coming from but, I thought it would be nice for the client if you could do it without them having to get another trades person in. I donhate doing it and it is never as good as it was before.

so you cant relay a carpet decently as you say so why try and get hassle doing so

The carpets I encounter are the ones where you lift them up fold them over and they turn to dust.
