Fitted the most expensive carpet of my floor fitting career £150 m2. To top it off there was a bow in the stripes and I had to run the stripes the opposite way to the stairs to save the customer £2k!! A normal plain twist would have taken 2 hours but took 4 hours on this one. Interior designer said he allowed £85 for fitting!!! I did laugh and got £200 for a job that I was exceptionally happy and proud of. Can't load pics off my iPhone but get a look at my bakebook page SNUGFIT FLOORING.
We have been fitting gun tufted carpet for some exclusive stores. £500 Sq M, Scary stuff (and it looks sh*te)
My mate fits stuff like that in the private jets at farnborough. They are only allowed to cut it with scissors and all templated. He's not even a carpet fitter, he just fits out everything on the planes! I said the same, sod fitting that.
The label was scrubbed off it. It was 4m x 5m. We used treadaire colours felt. Worked out about £10m to fit.
Is that a louise depoortere carpet? They get expensive. Looks alright going the other way on the landing, gotta get that 1 nice and straight over the nose!
Just get a set rate for the night. Lot`s of guy`s normally, to fit smallish areas. Funny thing was, it`s all made to measure, and only 3 out 5 fitted. Had to seam the rest. lol
Will try and find out where it came from. The lining up was a nightmare cos I had to hit the nose bang on and then the 2 doors at the top of the stairs as well. Luckily the rest of the doors didn't require a straight line at the door bars.
