How much does carpet & vinyl fitting cost?
My carpet & vinyl fitting prices are simple and transparent. See the breakdown below for typical labour costs by room and stairs.
The total you pay depends on the size of the rooms, the type of carpet or vinyl, whether old flooring needs lifting, and if you want extras like new underlay or door bars fitted.
Carpet & vinyl fitting prices by room
These are labour-only estimates based on my typical rates. Carpet, vinyl and materials are separate.
| Room / Job | Typical labour cost |
|---|---|
| Carpet & vinyl fitting | £4 per m² (minimum £60) |
| Hall, stairs & landing | From £80 |
| Carpet uplift (per room) | £20 |
Prices assume standard access and preparation. Extra charges apply for stairs with twists, kites and bullnoses. I uplift old carpet but do not remove or dispose of it.
Accessory price list
Honest, fixed prices on the extras most jobs need. Supply only or supplied and fitted as part of your job.
| Item | Price |
|---|---|
| Underlay 8mm (15 m² roll) | £40 |
| Underlay 10mm (15 m² roll) | £50 |
| Door bars (3 foot, each) | £6 |
| Gripper rod (1.5 m length) | £1 |
| Spray glue (500ml tin) | £5 |
What affects the cost?
Room size & shape
Larger rooms cost more overall, but the price per m² drops. Awkward shapes and lots of doorways take longer.
Stairs & landings
Stairs are labour-intensive. Winders, bullnoses and multiple landings add time and skill.
Underlay & extras
New underlay, gripper rods and door bars improve finish and longevity. I can supply these or fit your own.
Furniture & access
If rooms are fully furnished, clearing and moving items adds time. Good access and empty rooms keep costs down.
Is it cheaper to supply your own carpet?
Yes — many customers buy carpet from a local retailer or showroom and then hire me to fit it. I fit only, so you only pay for my labour, underlay and any extras you need.
I can always measure up first for you if needed.
