As long as customers accept low standard fitting as normal, we will still have low standard fitters, it's nice to see your videos raising customer expectations 👍
That’s the point we’re trying to push forward. Let’s hope it works and for customers to be made aware that paying a little bit extra for quality goes a long way.
These guys done my home all the rooms love it
I’m so happy with the work and their so tidy and happy guys
Great video again Sal look forward to part 2!! Shocking what some of these so called fitters get up to!!
Had a few fitters work for me doing work like that. Long gone now thank god and I have a couple of great lads. Great vid Sal 👍🏽
❤️❤️❤️ congratulations on the 1000 subs
Just discovered your channel - great discovery - looking forward to exploring your videos 🤜🏻🤛🏻 from South Africa 🇿🇦
I wish I’d seen this before I accepted shoddy workmanship. Nice to see how you take pride in your work 👍🏻
What happened with your carpet fitting if you don’t mind me asking?
Wow! Thats rough workmanship!
Look forward to part 2 salih👍
15:55 hahaha Excellent video and explanation. Can tell you and your team are super respectful with your clients.
And that seam (join) in the room was just pathetic.
The way you do these stairs is exactly what I was trained to do, bar the spacers and the way you cut the underlay. I roll out and measure then cut along the width instead of the length :)
It was like watching a good series and then it finished, pissed I got to wait 24 hrs for the next episode. They where not carpet fitters just hack, slash and run merchants. .What a join sprayed to the underlay. Thanks for the great content. Stay safe & keep busy as you can in this bad time.,
I appreciate your kind comment.
Part two is out tomorrow and I’m sure you’ll enjoy it as there’s a lot more fun to come in part 2 🤣
My god, that join...😂😂😂
Bro please advise the previous fitters of this terrible job they've done. If they get caught doing it again name and shame them buddy. Loving your work!
i cant lie, im by no means the best carpet fitter around. i work for a shop where we do up to 13 cuts a day and we're not paid the best, but even on a bad day my fitting on stairs is sooooo much better than the job done on those stairs haha
The correct name for the skirting board going up your staircase is known as the Stringer ,have painted a 1001 of them in my time as a Decorator .
I think they should be named and shamed. They're taking people's hard-earned money and giving a sub-standard service. Thank goodness there are still some people who wiill do a decent job. Well done Trim & Tuck.
I had a similar one today, customer went to one of these pay weekly companies in. I had to refit the stairs after they apparently ran out of carpet.
U.S. Here, steam iron too get those steps flat!!! We have all kinds of hacks over here!! I do well fixing their f-ups ! Good luck!!
I like your thoroughness guy's. But your making a S/L a full days work 🤣
💯 this fitting was done by a guy who isn't a fitter and is self taught!
But there are a lot of guys out there that have no certificates or courses under there belt that do a great job.
In my a opinion it,s all about having passion for your work and wanting to do a good job end of. P.s does Josh think he's in the UFC with them gloves! Pffff
Lol don’t get on the wrong side of josh. He’s been pushing them weights lately 😜😅
And yes, I totally agree. Passion drives you to deliver excellent work!
Not relevant to this video, but do you ever staple woven wool carpet runners instead of using grippers? Mainly thin runners on upholstered stairs.
I love your attention to detail.....
...and your humor.
"Seventy five years later" 😁
So true.
Shocking workmanship
Ryan G has been there 😮🤯 #cowboys
Hi so on the straight stair is your gripper 10mm space
It depends on the thickness of the carpet we’re installing.
Why would the steps get waterfall when there is a lip on the tread? Looks way better with it tucked under tread and kick plate.
Assalamualaikum
is trim and tuck just a carpet fitting service or do you have a carpet showroom
Hi jason. We’re a company who supply and install carpets.
sorry I'm from dublin
What do you charge per linear metre for your work? Over in NZ we are getting around $10nzd a square or about 5.3 pounds per sqm.
I’m coming to NZ
@@TheManorBeast Come through not much covid here.
@@NzRasengan
Have a friend recently moved there. Loving life
I’d love to
Big stores pay £3.5m3 flat areas but many much less. When I tell people my rates they mostly don't want to pay and so get poor fitting.
I like fixing other people’s stuff, it makes me look good by comparison
This customer has used a firm that uses cheap underlay, cheap gripper and cheap fitters. He may of asked for a good fitter but it doesn't look like he paid for one.
This is the first time I have ever heard you say the word's SPRAY GLUE
Lol what do you mean 😅
How much you boys on the meter
How much did he pay the cowboy fitters? cos if he paid a cheap price then would it be reasonable to expect a first class job I don't think so I think some folk pay cheap and get what they pay for.
To be fair. He paid more than what he would’ve paid us ! 😨
@@TrimTuckCarpets they won't be around long then nothing to worry about unless you are his next victim I'm sure s small claims court would sort out the customer but it's a lot of hassle.
Jesus that was rough as!! How do people get away with it
Problem with the construction of the stairs
Fit like that at our place you're gonna be found out in a day...
Rough as ...
Bodgit and scarper..
Cowboys are just frustrating. They do a half hearted job.
Didn't I give you the idea for a video like this!? 😉 Ours isn't quite as bad as this to be fair but it still ain't 💯
When you want to have a new carpet. I’m sure you’ll use us this time 🤓
Crikey, that's bloody rough as toast that is. How long did it wind up taking you?
I would say it took us a good half a day.
Cowboys to the max a just finished me apprenticeship n a can do better than that haha
Tell me about it ... very rough job they done.
You will probably find, he paid a low price. We come across this all the whie. If we quote, they still go back to this; as its cheap. its NOT the fitters fault; they are rubbish. Some customers ,will NOT pay for a good job. I have not seen, one of these vids, either using F1 in door ways ( even by these lads ).
These are slightly better than carpet sh*te but no double banking ect.... ; but what, you would expect from a JL fitters
By the way I We have seen worse and possibly even done it, ourselves over the past 35 odd years.
We don't comment on DIY fitters; for some reason ? Or on this, But we have nothing but a glass of wine or two to do and bored.
Pay more and you get professionals. You should be paying between £100 - £200 an hour for just a fitting only service.
If you pay less; this is what you get and these PEOPLE will still pay less !!!
What part of England is that lol I must move there. Roughly 40-60 euro an hour in Ireland if your decent at your job.
What really pisses me off when I get to a place is I have to do all this sometimes, (rectifications, uplifts etc) tell my boss and get ‘got to take the rough with the smooth’
His cover all phrase
I bet it does piss you off..... that's fair enough.....I'm with you on that.
BUT..... what else is he going to say?... "Don't worry, walk off that job.... we'll wait for an easier one. I'll still pay you for the day. Just tell the customer it's too much for us"
To be fair to your boss.... he's probably under pressure too.... but in different ways.
In an ideal scenario, these (potential) issues should be covered with the customer upfront, with an element of flexibility in the estimate, to cover the cost of any additional labour.... and then the customer can be assured of a good job.... the business assured of a fair profit.... and the fitter assured of a fair days pay (and gratitude) for his efforts.
(And for what it's worth, I think the one thing fitters look for more than anything..... is the GRATITUDE).
I dont understand why guys are waterfalling stairs instead od aplostering the its a much cleaner look
Bodgit and scarper ride again.
Shockingly poor fitting
Gripper on the risers obviously you are amatures
Did the bloke not go back to the shop, they can’t give him the wrong carpet and send a fitter like that out then just wash there hands with him
He did. I believe he’s still as we speak going to small claims court with the issues he’s had with them. 🤷♂️
Pls name and shame
I can’t do that …
They put a fucking bar there? Why not seam it together?
I installed carpet for 28 years and this is a one of the worst installations I've ever seen. Just a disgrace.
It was bad. It’s not only superhero who wear capes, carpet fitters also do! 😅
Was this film in lockdown just asking no masks etc appreciate you are allowed to go into houses as tradesman. Only wondering. Nice work to be honest.
