Hi Damian and Steven,
I'm sure every carpet fitter has his or her own ways of doing things. As long as the customer is happy and you're happy with a job well done at the end of the day you get paid thats all that matters.
The same with any other service.
Good on you both for standing your ground.
Could be a new telly program - 'professionals stand off' where 2 or more professionals in their respective trade compete against the clock at a given task!
I'm wasted cleaning carpets
Kind regards,
Jason.
