Services
Carpet fitting
Professional carpet installation for new or existing carpets across London. We specialise in small to medium domestic projects, including re-fitting carpets after building work or relocating existing floor coverings between rooms. Our service includes bringing necessary underlay and gripper rods to ensure proper installation. Clients often choose us for our flexibility in handling non-urgent jobs that larger firms might decline due to size constraints.
Carpet repairs
Specialist repair service for damaged carpets including burns, pet damage, and worn stair treads. Using precise 'cut and plug' techniques, we restore carpets to functional condition while maintaining visual consistency. Our 40+ years of experience enables effective solutions for moth damage, doorframe fraying, and curved stair tread wear caused by pets. We prioritise using existing off-cuts to minimise costs.
Carpet stretching
Professional carpet stretching to address loose, wrinkled, or 'wavy' carpets. We employ both manual knee kickers and power stretchers to achieve optimal tension, preventing tripping hazards and extending carpet lifespan. This service prevents backing material damage that occurs when loose carpets remain unattended over extended periods.
Stair carpet fitting
Specialised stair carpet installation and repair service. We replace individual worn steps using existing off-cuts, saving clients from full carpet replacement. Our expertise includes re-fitting stair carpets disturbed by builders and addressing curved tread wear caused by pet activity. We ensure safe, secure installation that meets household traffic requirements.
Re-fitting used carpets
Professional reinstallation of existing carpets after building work or room reconfiguration. We handle carpet removal, storage, and re-laying, including trimming and stretching to accommodate new furniture arrangements. This service is particularly popular with clients who have received builder-damaged carpets or wish to repurpose existing floor coverings during home renovations.
