Can anyone give me a ballpark figure for having a carpet fitted in a room that's roughly 3m x 3.8m?

It's a seagrass carpet that needs glueing down apparently, but the underlay and gripper rods are already in place and I've had the carpet delivered.

I'll be ringing a couple of fitters later but just wondered whether they're taking the mick or what they're charging is about right.

Area is South East if that makes a difference.

If you're in east Berks I could give you the number of someone to use.

Yes it will, and you can't just glue it to any old underlay. You'll need duralay system 10 if you don't want a full stick, or durafit underlay if you do.

I've used Carpetright's fiters - £40 odd plus I supplied the gripper/door bars

I know Carpet Right charged £2.50sq/metre in the midlands. I also know it's cheaper to use the same fitters direct.
