Sit back, relax and let our professional partners install your new flooring – we can deliver and fit in days
Carpet fitting, along with laminate, LVT, vinyl, and engineered wood flooring installation, is a job best left to the experts. We've a little black book of professional fitters throughout the UK, and we trust them to fit your carpet or flooring quickly, efficiently, and perfectly. In many cases, we’re able to deliver and fit in days.
They’ll also take away your offcuts and give your new flooring a vacuum so it’s ready for you to enjoy straight away. Of course, you’re more than welcome to use your own carpet or flooring fitter - the choice is yours! At Tapi, a quote for new flooring is completely tailored to you so you only pay for the services you need.
Our fitting costs vary depending on the size of your room, where the floor is to be laid and the flooring type being installed. Prices start from £5.50 per m2 for carpet. As we use independent fitters, the cost for fitting is payable directly to the fitter on the day of installation.
Take a look at the table below for some indicative costs by room size.
The costs include a small fee for arranging the fitting with our professional fitting partners. Minimum charges apply, as do supplements in some product types (e.g. sisal), locations (e.g. London) and for complex fitting (e.g. herringbone, stairs). Ask one of our colleagues to provide you with a tailored estimate based on your requirements.
Flooring type | Cost | Small Room (3x4m) | Medium Room (4x4m) | Large Room (5x4m) |
---|---|---|---|---|
Carpet | £5.50 sqm | £66 | £88 | £110 |
Vinyl | £6.75 sqm | £81 | £108 | £135 |
Laminate | £15 sqm | £180 | £240 | £300 |
Click LVT | £15 sqm | £180 | £240 | £300 |
Dryback LVT | £17.50 sqm | £210 | £280 | £350 |
Engineered Wood | £26 sqm | £312 | £416 | £520 |
Our flooring experts will ask if you need your new flooring fitted when they are putting together a full quote. If the answer is yes, you’ll receive a very excited email from us when your new flooring has arrived in-store, asking you to give the store a call to arrange a convenient fitting date. You’ll then receive a confirmation email with your fitting date and the countdown to the floor of your dreams has begun!
The day before installation we’ll send an email reminding you that your new flooring is going to be fitted tomorrow – as if you’d forgotten! A friendly fitter will arrive at the allotted time, which will be confirmed the day before, leaving you to relax while we take care of everything.
As part of our Delivery & Care package, the fitters are happy to move up to 5 pieces of empty furniture. Unfortunately, they won't be able to move plumbed or wired items, or really heavy items like pianos or pool tables. Please let us know if any items require two people to move them, so we can ensure sufficient help is at hand.
Our fitting partners offer a huge array of additional services to help get the perfect fit. From fitting your new carpet or flooring with underlay and accessories, to uplifting and removing your old flooring, Tapi can offer you a quote and arrange for a fitter to carry out these works for you. At Tapi – no mountain is too high! Just ask for these services at the time of ordering.
When your carpet, accessories and underlay are all purchased from Tapi Carpets and Floors and when your fitting service is arranged by us with one of our recommended fitters, you qualify for our 10-year fitting guarantee. Hurrah! This means that should you encounter any issues with the installation within 10 years from the date on your invoice, we’ll rectify them free of charge. Please keep your receipt for proof of purchase. Your carpet must stay in the original location and not be moved or tampered with and should be used only according to our recommendations. You can read more about our 10-year fitting guarantee here.
If you want to try fitting your new flooring yourself, go for it! You’ll need a few tools and some take longer than others, but it’s a great way to learn a new skill. Our handy expert guides will give you simple step-by-step instructions on how to fit your new carpet, laminate, vinyl, or LVT.
