Getting wooden floors put in when you have bought the boards?

I have two rooms with carpet and after much searching have managed to match my existing floorboards (not bought yet and available at Selco)

So I need to take furniture out of the rooms, lift the skirting boards and carpet, remove the carpet and get the floorboards put in then skirting board back on. Or should I say someone needs to. The floorboards need yo sit in my flat for z as week too. (Solid not laminate).

So can I get people to do my floorboards even if they don't sell them to me? Can I get them to take away the carpet? Will they dismantle and move furniture (including a wardrobe) or should I get someone else in to do it? Would I be better off doing the skirting boards myself or getting them to do it?

I know they probably would do it all but they could be skilled tradesmen who are really best at doing floors. I've seen a few rumbling about doing skirting boards (trade forum) too.

I've got bugger all room too so kind of need it done one room at a time as well. Otherwise I could be camping in a very crowded sitting room!

Ok.. might try nextdoor. The previous owners did the current ones and did a shoddy job. Guessing it's someone different to dismantle etc furniture?

A good handy man should be able to do that.
