Carpet Installation in Islington.
Quality underlay and power stretching as standard.

Wool is a natural fibre — warm, resilient and long-lasting. Quality wool carpet in a bedroom can look good for twenty years or more. Synthetic is less expensive, more stain-resistant, and a practical choice for children's rooms and rentals. Wool-blend (80/20) gives most of the performance of pure wool at a lower price.

Underlay is what the carpet rests on. Cheap underlay compresses within a few years — once flat, the carpet has no cushioning and wears at twice the rate. A quality underlay extends the life of the carpet significantly.

Power stretching uses a lever-action tool that spans the room and pulls the carpet tight before locking it onto the gripper rod. A knee-kicker alone does not stretch the carpet sufficiently — within a few years it relaxes, loosens and forms bubbles. We power-stretch every room.
