Expert Fitting Services
Most flooring retailers use self-employed fitters booked job by job. We do not. Our fitting teams are employed by Carpet Style, they are the same people week in week out, and they are the ones who have to come back if something is not right. That is the single biggest difference between us and a price on a comparison site.
It also means we can talk honestly about preparation. A subcontracted fitter paid per job has every incentive to lay the floor and move on. Ours will tell you if a subfloor needs levelling first, because the finish is ours to stand behind.
We have been supplying and fitting floors since 1981.
Our quotes are for a finished job, not just the floor covering. Fitting includes moving your furniture and putting it back, lifting your old flooring and taking it away, preparing the subfloor where needed, and fitting grippers, underlay and trims. If a new floor sits higher than the old one and a door needs easing, our in-house joiner can take care of it.
We fit carpet, LVT, laminate, vinyl and engineered wood. Stairs, landings and awkward room shapes are routine rather than an extra.
The measure is free and carries no obligation. We bring samples to you, measure properly, and the quote you get from that visit is the quote you pay.
Wondering what it will cost? Our guide to carpet fitting costs sets out typical prices per square metre, what a room usually comes to, and what makes one quote differ from another.
Fitting is free on carpets over £20 per square metre, and we run ranges that include underlay, gripper and door bars too. The full detail is on what is included when we fit your floor.
Not sure what happens after you walk in? How buying flooring from us works sets out all four routes, the free measure, and what you pay at each stage.
10mm polyurethane underlay provides excellent sound insulation, comfort, and durability, making it ideal for various flooring applications, including carpets.
9mm polyurethane underlay offers superior noise reduction, cushioning, and durability, making it perfect for enhancing the comfort of floors.
8mm polyurethane underlay provides effective sound insulation, added comfort, and long-lasting durability, enhancing the performance of various floor types.
Treadmore underlay offers exceptional noise reduction, moisture protection, and increased comfort, making it ideal for both residential and commercial flooring.
Whether you’re looking for the best carpets Nottingham has to offer or vinyl flooring for your busy household, you’re sure to find what you need at Carpet Style.
It depends on preparation more than anything, but as a rough guide: a bedroom is usually around an hour, a lounge between one and three hours depending on shape and how much furniture there is, and stairs and landing takes three to four hours. Stairs are always the slowest part of a job, because every tread is cut and fitted individually.
Most whole-house jobs are done in a day. If a subfloor needs levelling or ply first, that adds time and we will have told you at the measure.
Lead time from measure to fitting day is normally two to three weeks. If you need it sooner we can usually work something out, so it is worth asking rather than assuming. We fit on Saturdays where that suits you better.
You can buy from us without fitting. If you have your own fitter, or you are laying it yourself, you are welcome to buy the flooring from us and take it away. You get the same ranges and the same advice; you simply organise the fitting yourself.
We will not fit flooring somebody else supplied. If we have not sourced and inspected it, we cannot take responsibility for how the finished job looks or how long it lasts, and that is not a compromise we are willing to make. For the same reason we do not work on a fitting-only or trade basis.
Are you a fitter rather than a customer? We employ our fitting teams directly rather than subcontracting, and we take on two apprentice floorlayers every year. Our vacancies and apprenticeships are listed here.
Do you move furniture?
Yes. Beds and wardrobes are standard and we take them as part of the job. For anything else we work on fairness: if it can be moved we will move it, and if it genuinely cannot we will work around it. Tell us at the measure what is in the room and there will be no surprises on the day.
Do you take away the old carpet?
We can arrange uplift and disposal of your old flooring. Mention it at the measure and it will be included in your quote.
What if my doors catch on the new floor?
We have an in-house joiner, so doors can be eased or trimmed as part of the job. It is quoted separately per door, and we will flag at the measure whether we think it will be needed.
What happens if the subfloor is in poor condition?
With carpet it rarely is. Carpet and a good underlay cope with floors that are not perfectly flat, and we very seldom have to prepare a room before carpeting it. With LVT and laminate the subfloor matters a great deal more, and standard preparation is 6mm plyboard over timber floors or a 3mm levelling screed over concrete, quoted as a flat fee. Either way we look at the floor at the measure and tell you the cost before you order rather than on the day. More on subfloor preparation.
How far in advance do I need to book?
Normally two to three weeks from measure to fitting day. We can often accommodate quicker turnarounds, so it is worth asking if you are working to a deadline.
Are your fitters employed or subcontracted?
Employed. Every fitting team works for Carpet Style rather than being booked in job by job, which is why we are comfortable talking about subfloor preparation and why the same people come back if anything needs attention.
Do you do fitting only?
No. We fit what we supply. If we have not sourced and inspected the flooring we cannot take responsibility for how the finished job looks or lasts, and that is not a compromise we are prepared to make. We do not fit on a trade basis or for other retailers either.
Can I buy flooring from you without fitting?
Yes. If you have your own fitter or you are laying it yourself, you can buy from us and take it away. You get the same ranges and the same advice at the measure stage and you organise the fitting yourself.
