  • Where's good for bedroom carpets? Is there somewhere like Colour Flooring but for high pile stuff? And is self installing a stupid idea?

  • I'd just go to a couple of irl shops. Carpetright and whatever else is near you. Get the most premium underlay, and consider underfloor insulation while you're at it.

    And is self installing a stupid idea?

    Zero experience, but having watched people fit them it doesn't look hard. Obvs I can imagine that like a lot of trades they make it look easy. But if pros can knock a bedroom out in 10mins or wherever, I struggle to believe you couldn't do it in a day with some throught and YouTube. You're not dealing with something like stairs or funny shaped halls - that at a guess is where more skill comes in.

    However, when we did it about 5yrs ago install was free over a certain amount, and wasn't expensive even if you didn't make the weekend deal.

    The faff of getting the bits, cost of buying any specialist stuff and lugging a carpet upstairs makes me question whether one bedroom is the place to save this money.
