Carpet Installation Costs in {city}
Carpet installation in New Zealand costs $50 to $150 per square metre for supply and installation of a mid-range carpet. Budget nylon or polyester carpet costs $50 to $80 per square metre installed. Mid-range solution-dyed nylon costs $80 to $120 per square metre. Premium wool carpet costs $100 to $200 per square metre. Installation labour alone (carpet supplied separately) costs $15 to $30 per square metre. Carpet for a standard three-bedroom home (approximately 80 square metres) costs $4,000 to $12,000 fully installed including underlay.
Choosing Carpet for New Zealand Homes
The main carpet fibre types available in New Zealand are wool (natural, durable, fire-resistant, excellent insulation, premium price — Bremworth and Cavalier Bremworth are leading NZ wool carpet brands), solution-dyed nylon (hardwearing, stain-resistant, good value — popular brands include Godfrey Hirst and Feltex), polyester (soft, affordable, less durable than nylon), and polypropylene (budget option, suitable for bedrooms and low-traffic areas). For high-traffic areas like hallways and living rooms, wool or solution-dyed nylon is recommended.
Underlay
Good underlay is essential for carpet comfort, insulation, and longevity. Underlay costs $8 to $20 per square metre on top of carpet costs. Foam underlay is the most common and affordable. Rubber underlay provides better cushioning and durability. Wool underlay is a premium option with excellent insulation properties. For concrete floors, a moisture barrier underlay is essential to prevent dampness. Never lay new carpet on old underlay — replace both together.
Carpet for Rental Properties
Landlords in New Zealand often choose solution-dyed nylon carpet for rental properties due to its stain resistance and durability. A mid-range solution-dyed nylon with a 10-year warranty costs $70 to $100 per square metre installed. Dark or mid-tone colours hide marks better than light colours. Under the Residential Tenancies Act, carpets must be in a reasonable condition at the start of a tenancy. Normal wear and tear is expected — tenants cannot be charged for fair wear.
