Just been down to Paul Simon's to check out the sales as we need some new carpets. Not replaced ours before so a little out of my depth. Do the following prices seem good and the materials sensible for the application:
Underlay - £7.99 /m2 Fitting - £3.00 /m2
Bedroom is 7.5 m2 Lounge is 34.5 m2 Hall is 5.2 m2 Landing is 1.7 m2 Stairs join them ... ;)
Total about 50 m2 I think ... dunno how to measure stairs. From his calculations based on my drawings he converted (very badly!) to yards and then back to meters and came up with 65 m2 ... which is a bit more than my calculations, but then they'll come and measure up anyway if I go ahead with this.
Based on his 65 m2 and taking the living room as 35 m2, he reckoned on £1500 total for a wool carpet in the living room and a nylon, tufted, woven backed carpet for the rest with medium quality underlay and some spike strips (as the stairs and landing are currently not carpeted). The nylon carpets are at 75% off currently (£5.97 /m2) and the wool ones varied quite a bit, but were more expensive (I think £10 /m2 for the standard ones, but some really expensive ones (about £40 /m2 originally) were down to about £20 /m2 and the quote was based on them).
How does this all sound? Any help appreciated :o)
