Carpet repairs involve fixing common damages such as burns, stains, holes, or pet damage on carpets1. Here are some types of carpet repairs:

  1. Burn Repairs: This involves repairing carpet damage from burns caused by cigarettes, curling wands, hairdryers, incense sticks, hot drill bits, soldering irons, hot coals from fireplaces, or iron boxes.
  2. Patch Repairs: If a section of the carpet is damaged beyond repair, a patch repair may be necessary. This involves cutting out the damaged section and replacing it with a matching piece of carpet.
  3. Pet Damage Repairs: Common types of pet damage on carpets caused by dog digs at thresholds or cat scratches on stair edges can be fixed.
  4. Re-stretching: Over time, carpets may become loose and develop wrinkles or bulges. Carpet re-stretching involves pulling the carpet tight and re-securing it to the tack strips located along the perimeter of the room.

Professional carpet repairers use specialist tools and techniques to ensure the repairs blend seamlessly with the rest of the carpet. It’s often more cost-effective to repair a damaged carpet than to replace it entirely.

Remember, it’s always best to consult with a professional if you’re unsure about performing carpet repairs yourself. They have the necessary experience and tools to ensure the job is done correctly.

Carpet Fitting: Carpet fitters are professionals who install carpeting in residential and commercial properties1. They measure, cut, and fit carpets to the floor space of a particular room or area1. The process involves several steps:

  1. Measuring the area: The carpet fitter measures the area to determine the amount of carpet needed for the job.
  2. Preparing the floor: The carpet fitter prepares the floor by cleaning and leveling it to ensure the carpet lays flat and even.
  3. Cutting the carpet: The carpet fitter cuts the carpet to the required size, taking into account any obstacles such as doors, fireplaces, and corners.
  4. Laying the carpet: The carpet fitter lays the carpet onto the floor and secures it in place using specialized tools and techniques such as stretching and tucking.
  5. Finishing touches: The carpet fitter will finish the job by trimming any excess carpet, adding edging or binding where required and ensuring the final result is neat and tidy.

Hard-floor Fittings: Hard flooring includes various types such as laminate flooring, luxury vinyl tiles (LVT), and wooden flooring. Each type has its own unique characteristics and installation process:

  1. Laminate Flooring: It’s hard-wearing, versatile, supports underfloor heating, scratch and dent-resistant, easy to clean, fade-resistant, and softer and warmer underfoot than ceramic tiles or stone flooring.
  2. Luxury Vinyl Tiles (LVT): LVT is a stronger vinyl that can be made to look like stone, marble, ceramic tiles, or even wood. It’s scuff and stain-resistant, great for sound absorption, heat insulation, and feels comfortable underfoot.
  3. Wooden Flooring: Wooden flooring is one of the most sought-after flooring options, engineered wood is the ultimate in luxury, and is renowned for being timeless, classic, and one-of-a-kind.

Each type of hard flooring has its own fitting guide which includes preparation of the subfloor, choosing the fitting method (mechanical fixing, glue down, or floating), and finishing touches.
