No quadrant used and no gaps at the skirting, so all good.  |
That is what I am thinking I might have to do - DIY. Another promise of a visit to take a look by #2 for today and so far, a none appearance. A #3 has promised to ring before dropping in to take a look, but sounds as if he wants to make a real meal of it.
The original hall, stair and landing carpet was all laid, done and dusted in 3 hours with no fuss at all.
[UPDATE] A phone call from #2 (he said he was coming round to take a proper look) to say he can maybe do it in 3 weeks. He is saying he wants £80 minimum to lay it and it may be much more, depending on how much adaption it needs. It says it will not be easy (rubbish) - I have measured it all up, drawn it out to scale and it all fits with the pile in the correct direction. It just needs one single joint, in a short passage the width of a door. He is claiming the pile is required to all go the same way and the pattern to match perfectly - BY LAW.
