I listen to this guy when I'm stressed, He makes everything seem okay. I would buy him a dab of ale, now crikey.

thanks for the video, i'm finishing off a room and will be putting a carpet down soon, your direst and to the point directions are just what i needed, thank you

Thank you for this clear and thorough vid! I'm watching it a second time because I'm laying my own carpet today.

I installed my first room of carpet today in a small rental house we acquired. I watched your video yesterday and I have to say I did have fun doing it. Your video answered a lot of questions and I saved money doing it my self and the tools were cheap,I bought them at an auction. Thanks for the video, very informative

Great video. Gonna do this when the weather is good enough to put all my furniture outside!

Great video, thanks for posting a do-it-yourself project will save a homeowner $$$

Simple and straight to the point. Thank you

perfect, thank you! this helped me carpet my house.

Just a quick tip if your working on a wood surface it's better to staple the underlay in before you trim in to prevent shifting and UN-needed frustration

Perfect! Thank you for uploading this.

I like how he mentions bragging to your friends about it several times lol

Nice informative video. Thanks !!

Interesting rebond you have. In the US our tacks are beveled at a 45 on one side so you can feel which way they go.

Awesome instruction and description, thanks so much.

I can hire a person to do my carpet but I'm actually quite interested to do it myself.. So this video has really helped get some ideas and actually build up my confidence! Thank you for this clear, neat and tidy video!

This is amazing g how they put carpet in I had no idea 🤷‍♀️ 😀

He forgot to mention that 99% of flooring specialists at home improvement stores don't know shit about flooring.

Thanks for creating and uploading this very helpful video !

Excellent video, Thank you this helped a bunch.

Great video!!!

Very well explained. Thank you.

Aaaaaight mate wonderfull

Does it match the drapes though?

Good tutorial - thank you mate!

doesnt matter if its a small or big room a carpet stretcher is always needed! But if you want to bust your knees use a kicker

Thanks for tips

"A beautiful room... of carpet"

Ive been doing remodeling for 3 years and I tell you . Ive seen some really messed up . Ill do it myself jobs . Some are pretty ugly and others they actually had us impress with their own techniques and ideas . Which is not the same as HIRING someone to do it correctly . But doing something yourself can be really fun

Really really good video. Thank you

Good job, mate. As for those saying he needs a strecher, yes the carpet will wear and eventually have wrinkles. HOWEVER by the time that happens (15-20 years down the road ) the room would be ready for a makeover.

Thanks. Really helped out.

I have go through whole video it is best.

Beautiful work

This just saved my @ss! I have a Belgian, and he ate all of the carpet in front of my door. The renters left some carpet behind. Looks solid!

awesome thank you!

Bob good job

Thanks!

Great job

ive seen videos where they say to start in the center of the longest wall. some say start at corners. where are you supposed to start?

Brilliant.

perfect Thanks

you hit it three times must be a pro

I used to install hard wood floors and we always used ply wood for the sub floor ....I've never installed carpet but can you use plywood along with the ( carpet pad) when installing carpet?

great video

very nice installation and explanation. looking forward to do my whole flat :-) Thanks

thank you

nice vid...

helpful thanks

Wow fort your supposed to kick the kicker to stretch the carpet not tap it lol and one tip when you underlay don't let it bubble else your cut it to short

Always read the reviews first cause they always know best 🤣

Great video, very straight forward with the information. I think all I need is a carpet laying kit

When is it getting stretched? the next day.

This is the best and precise Video Instruction I ever saw on Carpet Installation. Good Job. I always forward it to all my customers and refer them to alrasbank site for financing.

That's what I was wondering.

nice n if the wall was a tan color it would be so much cuter

Do you need to put down new padding every time you install new carpet?

im stoned... why am i watchin this

lol everyone getting upset that he didn't use a stretcher in a room the size of a small jail cell. A kicker would do the job fine here.

lol this is interesting I always get calls from people who buy from bunnings. I wonder if they teach them how to join?

Nice video, good learning video.

thanks Red Foreman

3:53... That's not a knife

Im ready to impress all my friends

There is a specific kicking pattern when doing a room, if it's not installed properly u will have bubbles.

And don't forget to always keep the carpet fuzzy side up when installing .

You mention to make sure the pile is going the right way, how do I know this. thanks

how high off the ground is the skirting board? or is it touching the ground?

Mate did the carpet had pockets? I just fight w one with heaps of bubly pockets that are impossible to stretch. Would the carpet be funny or old?

This is Bunnings , like the say buy cheap buy twice

Nice

4:38 because we can't staple into the concrete.... But you have!! Lol

I'm just curious, he had a seam but he didnt connect the two. How did that work? Also, how is it now?

thanks for the video. Could you please provide the name of edge bar with the nails upright? and the installation layer? Thanks!

Haaaa I love how people say you need a power stretcher. No you don't, not in small rooms. If you kick it correctly you will have no issues

I wish he do a video on how to join seams and door ways

Do you need the underlay if your working on a wooden floor or can you just go straight to laying down carpet? Noob here!

We call it tack strip here in michigan

Why is he wearing an apron

Where do you buy the rug gripper or the smooth edge

It’s called tackless or tack strip

did ya put in NEW! Baseboard

not a trade it's diy job... big difference

Whens he cutting it 10mm away from the skirting and using the bolster to get a smooth egde is that going under the skirting or butt up to it, would you be left with a lip or a ripple if you went butt up to the skirting, as I haven't got a gap under my skirting. Any help would be appropriate.

if you need to used power strech

Jeez the comments below are hilarious, people ready to kill each other over how to lay carpet. Maybe its time to start Carpet Cage Fighting, you have try and lay carpet while at the same time trying to beat the shit out of the other carpet layer who uses a different technique to you.

You dont have to adhere the underlay to the concrete?

Tip 1: Always buy 1 piece of carpet which fits the entire room to begin with.

wow what a hack ...room is definitely gonna need a restretch in no time...this dude would never make it in a carpet one store

So when do you use a stretcher to straightening out the carpet? I didn't see you do it

I check a lot of woodworking handbooks. These one from woodprix are the best.

Good video, but carpet layers doing this everyday must have terrible backs, knees and necks.

how do you install how do you install

Had lots of people call us who tried to fit their own carpet they need us to fix what they stuffed its like doing Ur own plumbing leave it to a Pro

You have to kick it harder than that! Not you will have wrinkles to come up. Not using right knee kicker either.. that one done even have the spikes it's just for moving carpet, or to help on making seams.

How do you get a nail in concrete?

If you are going to show people how to install carpet at least be professional. The common person thinks a kicker is a stretcher. I have seen many jobs large and small not installed properly. Was the carpet in the environment for several days to acclimate? A kicker will NEVER replace a stretcher. Carpet not installed properly will many times void its warranty. Just because you have been doing it that way for X number of years doesn't make it right. whether its an 8x10 room or a 20x30 room, do it right and do it right the first time. BTW thank you to all of you hacks out there for putting a lot of $ in my pocket and allowing me to come back to these homes and fixing your improper installs.

I don't think we have a Bunnings here in America...lmao.

What is Kaaahpit?

My mans using a kids knee kicker

That stretch will not hold
