Where can I find the best carpet fitters?

A carpet professional will often both supply and fit carpets. A full service carpet professional can offer everything from a catalogue of carpet colours and pile options to carpet accessories like underlay, gripper rods and door plates. Carpet fitters will need to measure your home and they will provide you with an estimate for materials and fitting service. Similarly, if you need someone to help with carpet repair there is a dedicated carpet professional just a few clicks away. Check the reviews of carpet fitters and look out for those who are members of trade organisations such as the NICF (National Institute of Carpet & Floorlayers) or the National Carpet Cleaners Association (NCCA).

Where can I find the best wooden floor fitters?

A beautiful hardwood floor can be the perfect way to complete a room of any style or design. The right professional will be able to advise you on the wooden flooring options you have that fit your budget. If you have longed for a wooden floor but can’t afford solid wooden flooring, then engineered wood flooring could be for you. And if chosen carefully and done properly, fitting laminate flooring in your home can look almost as good as the real thing. Many homeowners wonder how to fit laminate flooring themselves because it is seen as a DIY task, but fitting laminate flooring correctly is never as easy as it looks, so it’s advisable to still seek the help of a flooring expert to do the job for you. Or perhaps you are lucky enough to have original wood floorboards which can be sanded and varnished to look like new? If you are buying new solid wood floors then a professional flooring installer will ensure that your new floor fits the space perfectly and remains looking beautiful for years to come.
