I really think they are tremendous value for money.

Two strapping lads spiriting whole carpets up and down two flights of stairs as if they were weightless and all this for half the price a plumber would charge to ring the doorbell.

They certainly are, and they don't hang about either - obviously they might if I had more to offer than tea and a kitkat.

I love the comparison of a skilled tradesman to a bloke carrying a rolled up carpet

The way they just rip up the old carpet as if it was a sweet wrapper is astounding!

I tried for ages to get up a corner to see what condition the underlay was in and had to give up and have a lie down.

In my experience, only about a third of plumbers deserve to be described as anything close to a skilled tradesman.

I'm also a little concerned that no rival 'Aren't carpet munchers amazing?' thread hasn't been started yet. The end of Chit Chat is nigh imo. Maybe most of the usual suspects are doing their community service during daylight hours.

Oh I thought it was around £1000 per property. Have you only got a short lease left then?
