Is it easy to lay underlay? Or should I leave it to the professionals?

[CuppaTeaJanice]

I'm going to get carpet fitted in DD's bedroom - hoping to find a room sized remnant at one of the local carpet shops.

I'm wondering if I can save a bit of money by buying the underlay online and laying it myself. Is it easy to do well? I don't want to ruin the look of the carpet.

Also, does anyone have any recommendations for places to buy underlay online? Ebay? I've heard Cloud 9 11mm underlay is good but as you can tell, I know very little about carpeting!

Any advice much appreciated!

?

yes but yes. they will do it very quickly and properly (if they are any good) and if they supply it should not cost much to lay.

buy it from B&q and roll it out, might need to cut it a bit to fit but really not that complicated. fitting the carpet is a job for a professional though.

I'm sure someone may disagree but it looked simple enough when my dad lay his own underlay. Tip - the bumpy side goes underneath touching the floor
