Our Carpet Fitting Process
Step 1: Floor Assessment
We Check Your Floors First: Our experienced fitters start by examining your subfloor carefully. Different floors need different preparation.
For 1960s-80s Homes: Many local homes have concrete slab floors. We check these for moisture levels. We also look for structural problems and any repairs needed.
For Older Properties: Terraced houses often have timber floors. We secure loose floorboards. We also check for uneven areas that need fixing. This preparation ensures your carpet sits flat and lasts longer.
Step 2: Carpet Selection and Supply
We Help You Choose the Right Carpet: Not sure which carpet suits your home? We guide you through the options.
We recommend carpets based on:
- Your room usage (high traffic areas vs. bedrooms)
- Your budget
- Your style preferences
- What works best with your subfloor type
Quality Carpets Supplied: We provide carpets from trusted brands. We recommend options that work well in Dudley and Annitsford properties. We consider factors like underfloor heating, moisture levels, and typical wear patterns in local homes.
Step 3: Accurate Measuring
We Measure Twice for Perfect Fit: Getting measurements right is crucial. We never rush this step.
Homes on Annitsford Drive and Burnside Avenue often have special layouts. These include L-shaped living rooms, compact hallways, and unusual room shapes. We plan seam placement carefully in these spaces. This makes your carpet look better and wear evenly.
Step 4: Room Preparation
Furniture Moving Made Easy: We handle the heavy lifting for you. We move larger furniture systematically. Some items can stay in place. We work around them.
Old Carpet Removal: Replacing existing carpet? We remove your old flooring safely. Then we prepare surfaces to British Standards (BS8204). This ensures your new carpet installs perfectly.
Step 5: Professional Installation
Fitted Right, First Time: We use gripper rod systems and proper stretching techniques. This means:
- No wrinkles or bumps
- Carpet that lies perfectly flat
- Less premature wear
End-of-terrace and mid-terrace homes have unique room shapes. We create seamless transitions between rooms. We also work expertly around stairs, doorways, and architectural features.
How Long Does It Take?
- Single Rooms: 4-6 hours typically
- Full House: 1-2 days (depends on your property size)
Quality Check Included
After installation, we inspect everything with you. We also provide guidance on several important topics. These include where to place furniture and how to protect your new carpet. We also explain how to maintain your warranty coverage.
Most Popular Carpets in Dudley & Annitsford
Homeowners in the NE23 area want carpets that are durable, comfortable, and versatile. Here are the carpet styles we fit most often in local homes:
1. Twist Pile Carpets
The Top Choice for Local Homes Twist pile is the most popular carpet in our area. It works perfectly in semi-detached and terraced properties.
Why Homeowners Love It:
- Handles heavy foot traffic brilliantly
- Tightly twisted fibres resist matting
- Sheds less than other carpet types
- Perfect for living rooms and bedrooms

What Works Best:
