Carpet Fitting

Soft, warm and comfortable carpets for stairs, bedrooms and living spaces, fitted tight with neat, invisible seams.

Nothing beats carpet for warmth, comfort and a sense of cosiness. Whether it is a single bedroom, a full house or a sweeping staircase, a well-fitted carpet should be tight, smooth and wrinkle-free with neat edges and seams you can barely see.

Expert fitting from room to staircase

Good carpet fitting is about the details: gripper set at the correct distance from the skirting, carpet properly stretched so it will not ripple or ruck over time, neat tucked edges, and seams positioned away from main walkways and matched carefully. Stairs need particular care, and we fit both waterfall and Hollywood (cushion-tucked) styles, as well as runners with a neat bound or whipped edge.

The right underlay makes all the difference

Underlay is easy to overlook but it has a huge effect on how your carpet feels, how warm and quiet the room is, and how long the carpet lasts. We will recommend a quality underlay suited to the room and the carpet, whether that is a dense, supportive underlay for stairs and hallways or a thicker, luxurious option for bedrooms. We also supply and fit door bars and threshold trims to finish every doorway neatly.

Commercial carpet

As well as homes, we fit broadloom carpet in hotels, offices, care homes, function rooms and communal areas, including heavy-contract and flame-retardant ranges where required.
