Domestic Carpet Installation

Wool feels better underfoot, wears beautifully and flame-retards naturally, but costs more. A good wool-rich 80/20 blend is the right answer for most lounges and bedrooms. For busy family hallways and children's rooms, a stain-resistant polypropylene twist is often the more sensible call.

For domestic work we specify a PU foam or crumb-rubber underlay in 9 or 11mm depending on the room. It makes a noticeable difference to comfort, acoustic feel and carpet lifespan — cheap felt underlay is a false economy.

Yes. Spindles make fitting slower but not harder — our fitters cut tightly around each turning and use a waterfall or cap-and-band finish depending on the look you want. We'll walk you through both options at the quote.

In rooms up to around 5 metres wide, no — most carpet is woven to 4m or 5m and we'll plan the layout so the full width runs the room. In wider rooms we place seams under sofas, along walls or in the least-used sight-lines.

A single bedroom is usually done in half a morning once the room is clear. A three-bed upstairs including stairs, landing and hallway is typically a full day.

Small items, yes. We'll happily move wardrobes, beds and larger furniture as part of the fit — just flag anything fragile or antique at the quote stage so we can plan around it.

Vacuum with a suction-only head (not a beater bar) for the first three weeks while the pile settles, then switch to your normal hoover. Blot spills immediately with a clean cloth — don't scrub. We leave detailed care notes with every fit.
