Factors to consider with carpet costs
There is quite a bit to consider when it comes to working out the overall cost of a new carpeting project.
If you think about the many different carpet types, as well as additional services such as floor levelling and removal of old carpet, you'll be able to work out the rough costs and therefore budget accordingly.
Materials and Style
When it comes to carpet materials, there are lots of options to consider, as well as designs and colours. These will all affect the overall price, so we've included approximate averages for standard and premium carpet in the cost calculator.
When you're looking for new carpet, you may want to consider:
Material - such as polyester, nylon, wool, olefin and trixeta
Pile type - this refers to how the materials are cut
Density - different carpet materials will be thicker than others
Durability - some carpets are made to last longer
Patterns - design has a big impact on look and cost, but not installation
If you are considering new carpet, why not speak to a specialist near you who can guide you through the different options?
Additional services
If you're looking at getting a new carpet, you'll want it to look its best. So as a result, beyond the cost of the actual carpet, you'll probably want to consider related services.
For example:
Floor levelling - to even out any bumps (e.g. in older homes)
Staircase levelling - this is often trickier than standard flooring
Underlay - as an option for thinner carpets
Adjusting doors - in case the carpet affects how well your doors fit
Removal / delivery - not all companies will include this as standard
Thinking in advance about what you may want (or need) will help you budget accordingly, so you aren't caught out by unexpected costs when your new carpet is installed.
Installation
Unless you have the right skills, your new carpet is going to need a fitter.
When you're planning for new carpet in your home, there is often a lot of preparation work.
Whether that is just removing the old carpet, or simply installing the new one, you'll likely need to hire the services of a carpet fitter. As a result, you will want to think about the price of the installation work as well as the cost of the carpet itself.
About the carpet pricing calculator
Using this free-to-use calculator will generate an approximate cost for carpet, based on the area you want to be carpeted.
It is worth including factors such as labour charges, and potentially relevant additional services.
Costs are generated by our professional estimators, who are Chartered Members (MRICS) of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors and Members of the Chartered Institute of Building (MCIOB).
The carpet cost calculator is for UK prices, but doesn't include things like:
VAT
Damp proofing
Changes to doorway / skirting boards
Skip hire (if re-carpeting a whole home)
Ideally, for a more accurate cost, you would still speak to local carpet installation company or flooring specialist.
