I've just had new carpet fitted with thick underlay - but as soon as fittter had left and I went to close sitting room door i realised carpet is too high and the door had to be forced hard to close ... I'm a bit annoyed that they didnt point this out to me as they should have known.
dont buy any tools you wont use again,Honestly shaving the bottom of the door is the easiest thing to do. Only takes a few minutes once the door is off.You can buy an electric planer for about 30 quid. Handy thing to have in the house anyway if you are DIY inclined. You probably only need to take a couple of mm off
... The suggestion of using rising butt hinges is completely impractical....
I am considering all your replies, thanks, its very helpful.
Iwill: thank you for pointing out that the people measured the room and sold me the carpet have fallen short on their customer service standards. After all goods should be suitable for the purpose for which they are intended.
Will post whatever solution i chose, let you all know how it goes.

The supplier should arrange this remedy at no expense to yourself, but you should ensure they use a qualified carpenter and that they know what they are doing.
