How do yo plasterers protect customers carpet floors?

[jasjas17]

Hi all

Whats the general protection you guys use when plastering a room thats carpeted and they are keeping it?

Remove the carpet.
Just put sheets down.
Use sticky floor protector.
Put the protection boards down.
Put hardboard down.
Other.
Nothing - i dont drop any plaster.

A plasterer i have worked with says they always roll up the carpets and tell the customer to get it re fitted. I dont know what type of jobs they are doing and how they get away with that.

I would never ask a customer to lift a carpet. I normally cover the carpet with good clean 3 metre square sheets, and then put my sheets on top. In all the years that i've been a plasterer, i've never made a mess of anyones carpet. Another thing is,, always take your shoes off when going out of the room, and always tell the customer to check THEIR shoes if they come in to the room and then go out again. I always tell the customer, that if there's any plaster on any other carpets in the house, they've put it there, not me.
