Types of Carpet We Fit
Twist Pile Carpet

Saxony Carpet
Luxurious cut pile with an upright, plush finish. Ideal for low-traffic areas like bedrooms where comfort is a priority.
Loop Pile Carpet
Durable looped fibres suitable for high-traffic areas. Resistant to crushing and ideal for hallways, stairs, and family rooms.
Berber Carpet
Distinctive looped style, often with flecked colours. Very durable and suitable for busy households and commercial settings.
Frieze Carpet
Tightly twisted, long fibres creating a shaggy, informal appearance. Hides dirt well and suits casual living spaces.
Patterned Carpet
Available in various patterns and designs. Requires careful pattern matching during installation for a seamless finish.
We bring samples to your home so you can see how different carpet types look in your own lighting and alongside your existing décor.
Where Can Carpet Be Fitted?
Living Areas
Carpet creates a warm, comfortable living space and helps with sound insulation. Choose medium to high-traffic rated carpet for living rooms and family areas.
Stain-resistant treatments are beneficial for households with children or pets. We recommend appropriate carpet grades based on your specific needs.
Bedrooms
Soft, plush carpet adds comfort and warmth to bedrooms. Lower traffic levels mean you can choose more luxurious pile types.
Carpet in bedrooms helps reduce noise between floors in multi-storey homes and creates a cosy atmosphere.
Stairs & Hallways
High-traffic areas need durable, tightly woven carpet. Loop pile and dense twist pile carpets perform well on stairs and in hallways.
Patterned or textured carpets help hide wear marks in these busy areas. Proper gripper installation ensures safety on stairs.
Where Not to Use Carpet
Carpet is not recommended for bathrooms, wet rooms, or areas with regular moisture exposure due to the risk of mould and water damage.
Kitchens can have carpet, though hard flooring is usually more practical for frequent spills and food preparation areas.
Professional Carpet Installation
Subfloor Preparation
The subfloor must be clean, dry, and level before carpet installation. We check the floor condition and carry out any necessary repairs or levelling work.
Wooden subfloors are checked for loose boards and stability. Concrete floors may require moisture testing and appropriate treatment if needed.
Underlay Installation
Quality underlay extends carpet life, provides cushioning, and improves insulation. The underlay type depends on the carpet and room usage.
We fit gripper rods around the room perimeter to secure the carpet edges and lay underlay to cover the floor area between the grippers.
Carpet Laying & Stretching
The carpet is carefully positioned, with any patterns aligned, then stretched and secured onto the gripper rods using professional stretching tools.
Proper stretching prevents wrinkles and premature wear. Seams are joined where necessary, positioned to be as inconspicuous as possible.
Finishing & Cleanup
Edges are trimmed and tucked neatly against skirting boards. Door bars are fitted at doorways and transitions to other flooring types.
We remove all waste materials and vacuum the new carpet, leaving your room ready to use immediately.

Caring for Your Carpet
Regular maintenance keeps your carpet looking good and extends its lifespan. Most carpets benefit from simple care routines.
Regular Vacuuming
Vacuum at least once a week in normal traffic areas, and more frequently in high-traffic zones. This removes dirt before it becomes embedded in the fibres.
Stain Treatment
Deal with spills immediately by blotting (not rubbing) with a clean, absorbent cloth. Use carpet-specific cleaning products appropriate for your carpet type.
Professional Cleaning
Consider professional carpet cleaning every 12-18 months to remove deep-seated dirt and refresh the appearance. This is particularly beneficial in high-traffic homes.
Protection
Use door mats to reduce dirt tracking. Rearrange furniture occasionally to prevent permanent indentations. Consider protective treatments for stain resistance.
What Affects Carpet Fitting Costs?
Carpet fitting costs depend on several factors. We provide clear, transparent quotes during our free home visit. All projects have a minimum value of £150.
Carpet Quality
Carpet prices vary widely based on fibre type, construction, pile density, and brand. Budget to premium options are available.
Room Size & Shape
Larger rooms require more materials. Complex shapes, alcoves, and stairs increase fitting time and waste.
Underlay Type
Basic foam underlay is more affordable than premium rubber or felt underlay with superior performance characteristics.
Subfloor Preparation
Floor repairs, levelling, or moisture treatment add to the overall project cost but ensure proper installation.
Old Carpet Removal
Removing and disposing of existing carpet and underlay requires additional time and affects the total price.
Additional Services
Furniture moving, door trimming, and fitting door bars or stair rods are extras that influence the final cost.
