Include the room sizes or total square metres, whether you have carpet already purchased,
and if old flooring needs removal.
In most cases, yes. Underlay compresses over time and loses its cushioning and insulation
properties. Fresh underlay extends the life of your new carpet and gives a better feel underfoot.
Your installer can assess if existing underlay is still suitable.
How long does carpet installation take?
A standard room can be completed in 1 to 2 hours. A full house typically takes one day,
depending on the number of rooms, stairs and any subfloor preparation needed. Complex layouts
or pattern matching may add time.
Should I move furniture before the installer arrives?
Most installers can move light furniture as part of the job. Heavy items like pianos, pool
tables or large entertainment units should be moved beforehand. Check with your installer
about furniture moving and any additional charges.
Can carpet be laid over existing flooring?
Carpet can be laid over some hard floors like concrete, timber or tiles if the surface is
smooth and level. Old carpet should always be removed. Your installer will assess the subfloor
and recommend any preparation needed.
