How Our Service Works
We use a selection of self-employed fitters who will install your flooring with precision, ensuring every corner is covered and fitted properly.
The team at Carpet Barn work directly with the fitter on your behalf to arrange suitable fitting dates. Our staff will be able to arrange an installation date with you whenever you are ready. This could be arranged at the point of ordering the flooring, or whenever you are ready for it to be fitted. We are happy to store your flooring choice in your local store for as long as you need.
On installation day, the fitter will arrive with your choice of flooring, so you don’t have to stress about finding space to store the flooring before it is fitted.
In some cases of hard flooring, the materials require acclimatisation in your home before installation. Should this be the case for your selected flooring, we will arrange a separate delivery date prior to the fitting date.
On arrival, specified on your order, our fitters can move any furniture out of the way before installing the flooring. We simply ask that any personal, fragile belongings be removed before the fitting. Once completed, the fitters will replace any furniture moved to where they belong. We will ask if you need this service when booking your installation and will provide a quote for this too. If you do not specify you would like this service when booking your fitting, we will need the area to be cleared before our arrival.
To complete our service, we also offer an uplifting and disposal service for old flooring at an additional cost. As an eco-conscious company, we make an effort to send most of the floor waste to a recycling centre, diverting it from landfills.
If you simply need help uplifting old carpet or flooring, we are also able to do this, moving it to a suitable storage location for you ready for you to dispose of when convenient.

Good To Know Information
Each fitter has their own up-to-date commercial insurance policies, meaning you can be confident they are covered should anything go wrong. In the event of any issues, we will continue to liaise with the fitter, arranging any rectification works to be carried out so you don’t have to stress about chasing them up. We aim to offer a swift service to deal with any problem should they occur.
