What do carpet laying and installation services include?

Adding in a carpet to your home can be that final touch when designing your interiors. However, installing a carpet is no easy chore. The best carpet installers near you can measure, cut, and lay your carpet correctly. No need to go through all the hassle of doing it yourself! Here’s what you can expect when booking carpet installations near you: 

Preparing for carpet installation

Before getting your new carpet installed, there are a lot of preparations that need to be done by local carpet installers. First, the floor space is measured. This makes sure that you’ll only purchase the right amount of carpet and that it is cut accurately.

Some Taskers may even offer same-day carpet installation near you. Before rolling out the carpet, they make sure that there are no loose nails and wooden boards. Some installers also help move aside furniture you had assembled to keep everything clear and ready for carpet laying.

Glue-down carpet installation

The glue-down method is the most common method among installers. Here, the carpet is glued directly to the floor. This is ideal for floors that cover larger areas. That is why it is used for commercial carpet installation. It provides solid support, especially for buildings that wish to have carpeted ramps. It is certain to not budge, even with things rolling over the surface daily. 

The best carpet installers make sure that your floors are smooth. This ensures fewer mistakes during carpet laying. When not done correctly, the areas not glued down properly wear quickly. That’s why it’s best to leave it to an experienced Tasker. Once rolled out and secured, you can always have your carpets cleaned and stains removed to ensure a fresh, brand new look.

Stretch-in carpet installation

Most homeowners may opt for a stretch-in carpet. Here, strips of wood containing nails are nailed around the edges of the room. Padding is installed in the middle of the room for the carpet to lay over it. The carpet is then attached to the pins on the strips of wood. From there, your carpet installer will stretch it across the room. A plus to this method is the extra padding underneath the carpet. It provides added comfort and extends the lifespan of the carpet itself. 

Adding a carpet underlay

An added service that is offered by many independent carpet installers near you is carpet underlay. This is a thin cushion put under your carpet. It is made of materials like sponge rubber and foam. A carpet underlay provides extra comfort to your flooring. It also provides your room with acoustic and thermal installation. Be sure to ask your carpet installer for the best underlay for your carpet and its installation method.

Hi there! I’m looking for someone with carpet cleaning experience to help remove a fake tan stain from a light grey loop-pile carpet (see photo).

I have a 42sqm shop and I’ve removed the carpet but there is an underlay that’s glued to the floor I need removed. I’ve tried to remove some and it’s quite glued down. Would suit someone with experience doing this kind of thing and the tools to do it. I don’t need you to be precious about the floor underneath, it’s getting covered up anyway. Pics attached.

Remove these carpet tiles and the glue

$600

Thornbury VIC, Australia

27th May 2025

I want these carpet tiles removed. They will need to be labeled so that they can be put back at some point in the right order and a few will need to be cut. Then I will need the glue removed from underneath. I expect the best way will be to use an orbital sander and then put a glaze over the top. I expect it to be a good days work. I have none of the tools - would love to find someone who has experience with this. I also have another job posting. (Painting walls) If you could do both on this Sunday and have experience that would be incredible. Unsure what to pay but happy to negotiate
