Ask for the installation scope to be set out clearly in writing before you agree to proceed. It should identify what work is included and whether measuring, underlay, furniture moving, removal of the old carpet, trims or threshold work and any subfloor preparation are covered or charged separately. These items should not be assumed, as requirements and responsibilities vary by property and job. It is also worth discussing how seams will be positioned, how edges and corners will be finished, and how stairs or thresholds will be handled where relevant. The suitable method depends on the carpet and the site. Room complexity, access, staircases and preparation can affect both the final cost and timing, so ask for those details to be confirmed for your own home rather than relying on a general estimate. Before booking, check that the quote describes the chosen carpet and underlay, the areas being fitted, and any exclusions or site constraints. If anything is unclear, ask the showroom to clarify it and confirm current installation options, costs and scheduling directly.
