Carpet Installation in London.
Quality underlay and power stretching as standard.
We supply and fit wool and synthetic carpets for bedrooms, living rooms and stairs. Quality underlay is fitted on every job — the component that separates a carpet lasting 8 years from one lasting 20.
Carpet Installation in London.
London is our primary service area, covering all 32 boroughs from Victorian terraces in Hackney to Georgian townhouses in Mayfair.
The housing stock across Greater London spans Victorian suspended timber, 1930s concrete, post-war screed and modern subfloors — each requiring a different preparation approach. We test before specifying and price subfloor preparation as a separate line so you can see exactly what the survey found.
The property stock here is predominantly Victorian terraces, Georgian townhouses, mansion flats, post-war estates and new-build developments. We cover all London boroughs and can typically arrange a survey within 48 hours of enquiry.
Carpet Installation done properly.
What makes our carpet installation work different from a standard quote in London.
Quality underlay on every job
Cheap underlay compresses within a few years. We use quality underlay as a minimum — the difference in carpet lifespan is significant.
Power-stretched for a lasting fit
A carpet not power-stretched will loosen, bubble and wrinkle within a few years. We power-stretch every room, not just knee-kick.
Stairs fitted correctly
Gripper rod at every nosing, clean riser-to-tread transitions. A poorly fitted stair carpet is a trip hazard — we take the time to do it properly.
Samples at the survey visit
We bring samples to the visit. You see them in the actual room, under the actual light, before committing to any specification.

Carpet Installation in London — questions answered.
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.
Yes — including curved, winder and turned stairs. Stairs require gripper rod at every nosing and clean riser-to-tread transitions. We price stairs separately in the quote so you can see exactly what each element costs.
Yes in most cases. We check floorboards at the survey for squeaks, loose sections and structural concerns. Any issues are fixed before the underlay goes in — a noisy board that is carpeted over without fixing will still creak through the carpet.
