9 years later... Thanks for this! About to embark on my first carpet tomorrow!

Thanks for this great video, I did one room a year ago with great success and am watching it again to remind me before doing another two rooms. I got the kit from B & Q which was cheaper than other shops and well worth it now I will use it for 3 rooms. Got my carpet cheap/free by buying off cuts / second hand. I could have paid £100s more to get the professionals to do it but I honestly think it looks great and was not that hard to do thanks to helpful tutorials like this. It's a shame so many comments are negative. It's a pretty simple job.

After buying it and carrying it up stairs, I got tired and flattened it out like a rug been like that for a year now.

Never done underlay and gripper, thanks to this video it looks a treat, cheers lads, top drawer stuff.

This video came in very handy for my first go at carpeting, room looks great so yay!

[atonia]

Love you guys have just fitted my carpet ❤

Carpeted a whole flat with the method on this video - is spot on. The only thing I would add is get a carpet edge cutter (which you can get from B and Q) and works really well.

Spent the morning laying carpet in the lads bedroom. I watched the videos as a refresher. Only comments is to not shuffle when wearing rubber soled slippers - they leave a mark!!! and to have lots of utility blades are they go dull fast. I didn't use a kit or a kicker, but used a bolster chisel and a stiff wide scraper. Came out really good.

Doesn't the grippers go through the carpet.. which means the spikes are still there?

[SoSo-lidn]

can I do this method with felt back? I want to use underlay because its wobblt.

[deseremere]

Finally, somebody has shown how to cut the carpet properly. The guy on another video just used a freaking axe. Great video
