I am planning to recarpet the spare room, approx 3m x 3m. So I visited a few carpet shops at the weekend, hoping to find a cheapo roll-end or remnant carpet that might fit. No luck, and anyway I probably couldn't fit a 3m x 3m piece of carpet in my hatchback. It would require delivery. More cost and a day off work. Not in my "project plan"! * I'm a carpet layer newbie -- is it easy to do a neat job using 2 strips of carpet, using carpet tacks where they meet? A large rug will go over the carpet, so I don't need a *really* neat job. * Another option is carpet tiles -- easily transportable and easy to lay. Question: do I need to remove the "gripper strip" prior to laying carpet tiles?
personally i would go for carpet tiles. Carpet fitting with joins is a skilled job. If you can i would try and get a carpet fitter in.
