Installation & Fitter Costs
We can arrange installation on your behalf using trusted independent self-employed fitters. Installation payments are paid directly to the fitter unless otherwise agreed. The fitter is responsible for their own workmanship standards, installation quality, and any follow-up snagging or adjustments if required.
Ara charges a fixed £15 installation arrangement fee per order. This covers administration, scheduling, coordination with the fitter, and customer support relating to the installation service.
The examples below are intended as a guide only. Final installer fitting prices are calculated at checkout based on the full order, including room sizes, number of areas, product grouping, and minimum charges.

Minimum fitting charges may apply for smaller areas. This means some smaller rooms or combinations of rooms may cost more than the simple square metre calculation.
