However, in most cases\u2014about 90%\u2014customers are responsible for these tasks. Clearing the room where the new carpet or flooring will be installed, as well as disposing the old carpet properly, falls under the customer&#8217;s to-do list.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">It&#8217;s vital to check the terms of your installation service, as some retailers or third-party fitters might offer additional services for an extra fee. They could arrange for the uplift of your old carpet and its responsible disposal or facilitate moving your furniture either themselves or through a partnered service.<\/span><\/p><h2><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Your Uplift and Move To-Do List<\/strong><\/span><\/h2><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Step 1: Room Preparation<\/strong><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Begin by removing any small items from the room. This includes lamps, plants, and anything that sits directly on the floor. Try to get your room as empty as possible. This isn&#8217;t just for the carpet fitters&#8217; ease but for the safety of your belongings.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Step 2: Furniture Removal<\/strong><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">You\u2019ll need to clear the room of all furniture. For larger items, like sofas or wardrobes, it&#8217;s best to empty them out and disassemble if necessary. If you&#8217;re not able to do this on your own, consider enlisting help from friends or professionals. Some third-party services can be arranged through the store where you purchased your carpet.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Step 3: Old Carpet Disposal<\/strong><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Be mindful of how you dispose of your old carpet. Some localities offer bulk waste pickup, while others require a trip to the local tip or recycling centre. For environmental reasons particularly, it\u2019s worth ensuring you choose the latter if applicable.<\/span><\/p><h2><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Seeking Professional Help<\/strong><\/span><\/h2><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">If the idea of eliminating old carpets and playing a real-life game of furniture Tetris isn\u2019t appealing, there are, thankfully, professionals who can help. Companies that specialise in this type of work are especially equipped to manage the lifting and removal of old flooring, as well as the moving of furniture. While this service will add to the installation cost, the peace of mind and saved time might very well be worth it.<\/span><\/p><h2><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Planning for Precious Cargo<\/strong><\/span><\/h2><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">During the shuffle, make sure to take care of any items that hold personal or financial value. Secure your electronics and other fragile possessions where they won\u2019t be easily knocked over. If you&#8217;re using professionals for removal, they should carry insurance in the event of accidental damage, but it\u2019s always better to be safe than sorry.<\/span><\/p><h2><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Advice from the Experts<\/strong><\/span><\/h2><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Carpet fitters are not removal experts, they\u2019re flooring experts. There&#8217;s a reason dedicated uplift teams exist. If you are uncomfortable with the heavy lifting or feel unprepared to manage the process, find a dedicated uplift and removal service. It\u2019s likely to mean a more seamless experience all around, and you can step back knowing your old carpet and furniture are in good hands.<\/span><\/p><h2><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Final Stitches<\/strong><\/span><\/h2><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Remember that the success of your carpet installation experience rests partly in the preparation you put into it. Plan ahead, consider your options, and make informed decisions. You deserve for the installation to be as effortless as possible, setting the stage for you to fully enjoy the new look and feel of your home.<\/span><\/p><h2><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>A Step Towards Effortless Installation<\/strong><\/span><\/h2><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Don\u2019t let the logistics of carpet installation daunt you.
