Door bars

[Ian]

do you plain the door if it needs doing, Bri..?

no mate, the only reason I don't is because I don't have a planer. I don't do kick board trimming either.

I used to use my grinder on top of my tool box with no cutting board, it's had to go in the bin now! I think one of my dry cutters has got some grinder marks on it as well. I'm a lot more careful with my tools now :lol:

Fiver to supply and will fit for free if its a self adhesive bar or a £5 fitting for carpet bars. Always buy them by the 8ft lengths to get a bit more value.

 

[Stef]

I am Scottish mate, I charge 2p per spacer if a leg snaps off them :lol:

You been checking up on me Bri??

You taught me well master :lol:

 

[Stef]

I keep all the small cuts & glue them back together!!
That way you make even more!!

Seriously though if I'm doing a floor I include them in the price,
Add a tenner for them.

£20 to supply & fit. Brass/Silver/Stainless Steel/Chrome/Square edge/Z bar, there are so many different kinds. You really have to think like Michael O'Learly (Ryanair) these days and charge for everything. If the customer is getting new carpets then I leave it to the carpet fitters to supply & fit.

 

[Rookery]

I charge £10 for the bar, and the fitting of it and planing of the door bottom is covered by my day rate. If I know the customer is having a new carpet in an adjoining room, I'll neither supply nor fit (though the bar might be somewhere in my material costing )

Carrying on from link I put on here's a pic of one the bars with hidden fixing system (no visible screws)

It's my own stairs and landing carpet Geoff, entrance into my bathroom done last year, The carpet has been down 10 years and it cost me £1200 for 14 steps bound and whipped with stair rods and landing area. It's still like new. Cost a lot but well happy with it.

I noticed it was expensive mate. Shame there isn't more of it around nowadays, it's all nylon type rubbish today in creams & greys. Give me a deep pile quality carpet any day!
