Hey everyone!
Im having my house gutted, rewired, insulated, new kitchen, etc etc.
At the moment all my carpets upstairs have black marks around the edges and Im worried that with new carpets being laid it will happen again.
Ive been told the following helps:-
1) Lay newspaper on all floor before putting the underlay.
2) Seal the gaps under the skirting using flexible sealant.
3) Buy special plastic strips that go around the edges.
My question is that if I decide to seal using a sealant, wont the carpet fitter end up destroying these when he pushes the carpet under?
Any advice would help, I have always hoovered around the edges but it seems to just make it worse.
