Not many of us like the idea of replacing a carpet, no matter how old it is. A new carpet can be quite a hefty expense depending on the size of the room, and there are plenty of other household items we’d rather spend out money on.

That said, a worn carpet can make your home look scruffy, so it’s worth changing it. The good news is that a new carpet doesn’t actually take that long to fit nowadays, and a carpet man could be in and out of your house in just a few hours (for one medium sized room). There are many different types of carpets to choose form today, so whether you need ultra premium fabric or just a cheap basic carpet, the options are there.

For a typical three-bedroom property, it doesn’t usually take more than 3 days to change all of the carpets, and you’ll be surprised how much you can save if you shop around.
