Carpet and Carpeted Flooring Installation

Carpet transforms a room in a way few materials can. It adds warmth, reduces noise, and makes everyday living more comfortable underfoot. A successful installation depends on accurate measuring, proper preparation, and careful fitting so the carpet looks smooth, wears evenly, and stays secure for years.

We install carpet and carpeted flooring for homes and businesses, from single bedrooms to full properties. Whether you already chose your carpet or need help comparing options, we guide you through the process and deliver a clean, professional finish that suits your space and budget.

What We Install and Where It Works Best

Different carpets and backing systems perform differently depending on traffic, moisture, and the feel you want. We help you choose the right construction and underlay for comfort, durability, and sound control.

Residential carpet installation

For homes, we fit carpets in bedrooms, stairs, hallways, living rooms, and home offices. We can match patterns, align seams discreetly, and recommend the best pile type for pets, kids, and daily use. If you are unsure where carpet is the best fit, we can also advise on broader residential flooring services to complement carpet with other surfaces in kitchens or entryways.

Commercial carpet and carpet tiles

For workplaces, shops, and shared buildings, we install hard wearing carpet options designed for heavy footfall. Carpet tiles are ideal for easy replacement in high use zones, while broadloom carpet can deliver a seamless look in meeting rooms and hospitality areas. We plan installation around access requirements and can work in phases to reduce downtime.

Stairs, landings, and complex layouts

Staircases and irregular rooms require extra precision. We secure edges, manage transitions, and finish neatly around door frames, radiators, and built ins. The goal is a safe surface with consistent tension, no ripples, and clean lines.

Our Installation Process

Every project follows a structured approach to achieve a tight fit and a long lasting result. We use professional tools and proven methods, then leave the site tidy and ready to use.

  1. Measuring and planning We measure rooms accurately, consider direction of pile, lighting, and seam placement, and calculate the correct amount of carpet to reduce waste.
  2. Subfloor checks We inspect the condition of the subfloor, identify squeaks, movement, or damp risks, and confirm the surface is suitable before we begin.
  3. Preparation and removal If needed, we remove old carpet, underlay, and gripper where appropriate, then clear adhesive residue and debris for a stable base.
  4. Underlay and gripper fitting We install gripper rods and a suitable underlay to improve comfort, insulation, and wear. Correct underlay selection also helps keep seams and joins stable over time.
  5. Carpet fitting and finishing We cut, position, and join sections with care, then power stretch where required to remove slack. Edges are trimmed cleanly and transitions are finished with the correct thresholds.

If your project includes multiple surfaces, we can coordinate carpet with other floor installation services so transitions and heights are handled properly from the start.

Repairs, Restretching, and Aftercare

Not every issue requires a full replacement. If your carpet has loosened, bubbled, or started to lift at the edges, a targeted repair can restore appearance and safety. We assess the cause, such as poor tension, worn underlay, or subfloor movement, and recommend the most practical fix.

  • Carpet stretching We re tension loose carpet to remove ripples and reduce trip hazards, especially in hallways and living areas.
  • Seam and edge repairs We repair split seams, re secure edges at thresholds, and tidy fraying where possible.
  • Local patch repairs For burns, stains, or damaged sections, we can replace a small area using a matching offcut when available.
  • Maintenance guidance We advise on vacuuming routines, furniture protection, and the best approach to spot cleaning to extend lifespan.

For premises that need ongoing care across different materials, our team can also assist through floor maintenance services planning, including practical advice on managing wear in high traffic zones.

FAQ

Do you install underlay and gripper rods as part of carpet fitting?

Yes, we can supply and fit underlay and gripper rods, or install materials you already have. We recommend the right underlay based on comfort, insulation, and traffic levels to help the carpet last longer.

How long does carpet installation usually take?

Many single rooms can be completed in a few hours, while stairs, multiple rooms, or patterned carpet may take longer. We confirm an accurate timeframe after measuring and checking the subfloor condition.

Can you fix ripples or loose carpet without replacing it?

In many cases, yes. Carpet stretching and edge re securing can remove waves and reduce trip hazards, as long as the carpet and underlay are still in reasonable condition. We will inspect the area and explain the most cost effective option.
