Remember – our team is here with you every step of the way, so if you’re not sure of what’s required, please contact us at anytime.
In Preparation
Remove your existing carpet including underlay. You may have opted for us to do this as part of our pricing, in which case, don’t worry! However, if you are doing this yourself, do not remove the wooden strips at the edges of the floor, commonly known as 'smooth edge'.
Vacuum your flooring area to remove dust particles after you've removed the flooring.
Depending on the thickness of the carpet and underlay, it may be worth taking the doors off to allow for a seamless installation. If new carpet is thicker than previous, the doors may need to be shaved after installation to allow for a smoother door swing or slide.
If you are painting prior, please complete 48-72 hours before installation to allow for enamel to dry.
Remove any fragile objects out of cabinets so they don’t break when furniture is moved.
Move furniture away from the installation area (if this is not included in the installation price)
Cover any heaters and nearby furniture for protection.
Ensure there’s a clear pathway for installers to move in and out of your home and a space to cut carpet, should they require it.
Make sure power points or extension cords are accessible and working.
Early On the Day
For effective airflow during the removal and installation of the floor coverings, it is recommended that doors and windows are open.
Children and family members should be well away from the installation area and close surrounds.
Keep children and pets away from the installation area (as exciting as it is, they’ll just have to wait!).
nsure any last minute pieces of furniture or devices are removed from the area.
After you install
Check your carpet installation to make sure the look and feel is what you want.
Make sure you’ve placed appropriate protectors on the feet of your furniture to avoid damaging your new carpet.
Replace your furniture. Most carpet can be walked on immediately, so you won’t have to wait long.
Show off your new carpet to friends and family and enjoy!
Let us know your happy! Send us a few happy snaps once you’ve settled in, we'd love to see how your new flooring looks! We'd really appreciate it if you don’t be shy to share them across our social media as well.
