Cost of carpet

[whsm17]

I have never moved house before , I am just curious about roughly cost of carpet in a 3 bedroom house with 2 Reception. Any recommendations would be appreciated. Thanks .

How long is a piece of string?

I've bought carpet as cheap as £150 for a living room up to £000s when we could afford nicer.

Will also depend if you need underlay (and thr quality of this) plus grippers and door thresholds and then of course fitting which can easily be the same price as the carpet for a decent fitter.

I haven't measured it yet , have no idea about the process, It's already carpeted but with no underlay and very dirty . Do I have to take it off before getting the new fitted ? I know its very dumb but I'm clueless ....

In a rectangular room, carpet fitting is easy and you can save a lot of money doing it yourself.

I paid £450 for enough carpet and reasonably thick underlay for double bed room and one box room.

Carpet grippers, thresholds and a stanley knife came to another £80, but I bought those separately.

No idea what labour would have been, but it only took a few hours to do both rooms to a decent standard.

Maybe then I need to check some DIY ... I want the whole house including stairs .

Carpet usually ranges from basic at around the £10 a sq metre mark, up to £40-50 a sq metre. Then there’s underlay. It depends how long you want it to last.

I’ve paid £450 for a small bedroom, £1000 for stairs and landing, £1200 for living room and £1000 for a large bedroom. That would include underlay, which is important and fitting.

I wouldn’t contemplate fitting stair carpet because of the different sized treads, especially if there’s a curve in the stairs.

As a ballpark figure, I would say £5000.

I've just paid 3.5k on wool carpet for my rental. 2 bed 2 bath apartment.

£700-£1000 per standard size room if you go for something like tapi carpets cheap option you'll spend near the lower end.

Or go to IKEA and get some nice rugs

Get the current carpet professionally cleaned and buy some nice rugs. Then save up and carpet the house room by room as you can afford it.

Carpets cost by the square meter and the price depends on the type and quality, without knowing anybody those things it's literally impossible to make any kind of estinate

That's a great advice. Thanks

No one knows

You can do it really cheaply

Roll ends and cheap. I'd prefer that than a horrible fully carpet with someone else's filth

My bedroom was £300 for a cheap roll end and it's a really nice carpet it's a small double room

stairs and landing for a wool carpet £1500

We don't have carpet downstairs.
