Just had a carpet fitted in a house that I rent out. I couldn't be there during the job and was surprised to find all the trimmings strewn on the floor when I returned. I am not talking about the decent sized off-cuts (which were left as well), but all the little scraps. I am wondering whether this is standard practice, or whether the fitters wanted to finish early and piss off down the pub because it's Friday. Advice/ comments welcome to help me decide whether to kick up a fuss and withhold a small sum from the payment.
One other thing; is there a standard way of fixing carpets around stair noses? Are they usually tacked in place, or held by a grip strip as per the edges of a room?
Thanks in advance, Jim.
