DESCRIPTION OF DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

Carpet Fitter Job Description and Duties:

What Carpet Fitter can do for you as Homeowner:
Carpet Fitter prepares the subfloor including levelling out the timbers and installing the underlayer, removes the existing flooring, moves furniture and appliances if required, chooses and purchases the required materials in accordance with Homeowners wishes and specifications. It is really important to choose the right carpet for a property. It would renew and freshen the look of entire rooms and the house as a whole as a carpet is the most visible and most used part of any household.
Carpet is also very important if you have children who will spend time playing on the carpeted floor as it is warmer, softer, and easier on their knees than floorboards, lino or hardwood floor. After Carpet Fitter installed the carpet, it would save Homeowner a money on heating bills as it would insulate the floor surface making the house warmer. In comparison, fitting the hardwood floor makes a house cooler, which is good in a summer time, but involves paying more for heating in winter time.
Fitting the carpet is a job for a professional Carpet Fitter because badly installed carpet would make the whole room and a house look untidy and scruffy and be more prone to damage and wear.
