Make the whole room/house messy and you won't notice the indentations. You're welcome.

So have i removing wallpaper but never to re install carpet pile

Cover the dents with beer mats.

What about turning it over ?

Reminds me of the tale, I think from on here, where someone had noted that when installing carpet it was much much easier to cut from the back. He had the bright idea of doing the whole fitting & cutting with the carpet upside down, then turning over at the end.

It would presumably have been a perfect fit for the house next door

I've done that with sheets of plasterboard.

The one I've done more than once is cutting the cable instead of the zip tie, despite saying "must cut the zip tie not the cable"

Where in the UK are you Pete? If in West London, I can drop round my wallpaper stripper and your impossible suffering could be at an end. PM me if you want.

60miles north, but thanks. I have a steamer thingie, and a wallpaper stripper in the shed, somewhere.

Having followed this thread with interest, I was preparing to redecorate our lounge.
Working on the reverse principle I decided to try stripping the old paper by using a carpet shampoo gizmo.
I am not sure if it actually worked as I cant see the walls yet. When all the gooey frothy stuff goes I will let you know.
