Going self-employed as a carpet fitter means handling business registration, public liability insurance, CIS for builder subcontract work, waste carrier rules for old flooring removal, supplier accounts, and clear scope agreements with both retailers and direct customers. This guide covers business setup, insurance for trade work, stair fitting configurations and per-flight pricing, occupied-home job discipline, acclimatisation for LVT and laminate, asbestos awareness in older properties, and the first-90-days checklist for going from employed fitter to running your own van.

Includes a first-90-days checklist for the practical move from employed fitter to running your own van and diary
Addresses the real decisions: labour-only versus supply-and-fit, stair fitting configurations and pricing, occupied-home etiquette, and the realities of working with retailers versus direct customers

Made for the work
Built around the work you do every day.
Carpet fitting is hands-on work, and most fitters would rather be on the job than wrestling with paperwork. Our templates give you a professional set of documents for quoting, invoicing and managing jobs — ready to use straight out of the box.
The pack is shaped around day-to-day situations such as:
Materials specification (gauge, underlay, gripper, threshold) handled verbally, and the customer's expectation drifts past what was actually quoted
Supply-only vs supply-and-fit pricing inconsistent across customers, with no clean view of margin per job type
