There are plenty of SE people subbing for companies with a national
brand name to uphold (think window fitters, for example) where it
seems reasonable for the major to dictate the presentational details
of "how" the job is done, once the subbie has accepted the job. The
reputation of the brand has an interest in that.

If your brand is commonly known as Carpet-Wrong, what do you have to
protect?

just because you can find one example doesn't mean that it's the norm

And to be fair, said company fitted my carpet (one of two pieces of
work on my house I haven't done myself, the other being the front
door because fitting was next to free when ordering a custom-size
composite door from the company I chose) cheaply and perfectly well.
It is a budget company so you have to manage your expectations
accordingly (like if you fly Eireflop or shop at Lidl) but that isn't
in itself an issue.

I've been happy with their prices and work in two houses now.
