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.

Shave down and rehang door after new carpet install (need a chippy)

$100

Toorak VIC 3142, Australia

2nd Jul 2025

I’ve had new carpet installed and now one of my internal doors no longer fits properly – it’s too tight against the carpet. The door is currently off its hinges and just needs to be shaved down slightly at the bottom and then rehung. Looking for a qualified chippy or someone experienced with this kind of work to: - Trim the bottom of the door to allow clearance over the carpet - Rehang the door securely Should be a quick job for someone with the right tools. Flexible with time but need to get it sorted on either Friday or Saturday few days. Located in Toorak.

Extremely happy with the work Ramsn did.. would recommend him for any relevant work!

Carpet Replacement – Small Room (St Kilda)

$500

St Kilda VIC, Australia

23rd Jun 2025

I'm looking for someone to replace the carpet in a small room (less than 9 sqm) in my apartment in St Kilda. The underlay is in good condition, so it's just the top carpet layer that needs replacing. The existing carpet will need to be removed. I've attached a photo of the current carpet – ideally, I'd like something similar in colour and quality, but it doesn't have to be an exact match. It would be fantastic if the job could be done tomorrow (Tuesday) or Wednesday. Thanks in advance – looking forward to hearing from you!

Ryan was an absolute pleasure to work with. He communicated clearly and professionally, completed the job extremely efficiently (replaced the carpet in under an hour!), and the quality of his work was excellent. He even went above and beyond by carpeting a small walk-in closet and cleaning some mould under the flooring, something I hadn’t expected. I’d highly recommend him to anyone needing carpet replacement or any flooring work.

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

I’m looking to get a quote for recarpeting my apartment. It’s one bedroom and a hallway. It’s not urgent so I’m happy to be flexible. The carpet is currently a light brown but I’m looking to install something similar to what’s in the communal hallway which is a dark charcoal.

Steven did a great job and it was done very quickly. He only needed to come and install the carpet as I’d already given measurements. And the colour was exactly what I was after
