I'm about to research DIY carpet fitting, just wondering if anyone has done the same and were you pleased with the results?The first room i'm planning to do is only about 3m x 3m so not too much of a liability.

Last one did was 3m x 3.5m (mini cinema room) and just used doublesided carpet tape stuck to the floor screed all around the perimeter ofthe room and stuck it down. It's been fine for the last 3 or 4 years.Carpet was a foam-backed off-cut, no underlay, underfloor heated.Easy peasy.

Yup, still my goto place for carpets! I recall getting carpet from them so long ago they still shared space next to the bus garage!

(which was demolished years ago to build the Sainsbury's complex near Victoria circus)

I can only remember them from Sutton road and I can remember the bus garage. I used to drink in the pub opposite (The Park?) and the bus drivers used to come in for a pint before work ;)
