We had fitters from the Carpetright chain store and they were quite good regards moving some items of furniture such as our Sofa and my rather heavy reclining chair. However, l doubt that they would empty a full room for you, we boxed up and moved some.of the smaller pieces of furniture into the dining room ready for them, ifi remember rightly,the fitting fee included upto 5 pieces of furniture being lifted over onto the new carpet as it was being laid. They also requested that all orniments and valubles be removed from the room whilst they were fitting and stowed away safely, as they could not be held responsible for any breakages. We boght a Kosset branded carpet in a medium somkey grey colour to compliment the colour of the tiling, and are very pleased with it.
