Our Carpet Fitting Process in Wideopen
Getting new carpets fitted in your home is straightforward with our simple four-stage process.
Step 1: Free Measuring and Quote
Contact us to arrange your free measuring visit at a time that suits you. We measure each room accurately and discuss what you're looking for. We suggest carpets that will suit your home and budget. You get a detailed quote with no obligation.
Step 2: Subfloor Check and Planning
We check your floors for any specific needs:
Timber floors in older semis
We check board stability and secure any loose floorboards before installation.
New builds around Five Mile Park
We test for underfloor heating and choose the right underlay to protect your heating system and carpet warranty.
All properties
We plan seam placement to keep them hidden and check for radiator pipes and bay windows that need precise cutting.
Step 3: Supply and Installation Day
Once you're happy with your choice, we supply your carpet. Installation typically takes just one day.
We prepare your subfloor and position gripper rods 10mm back from skirting boards. We fit your underlay to match your floor type. The carpet is positioned with careful cuts around obstacles like bay windows and radiator pipes.
Using professional power stretchers, we tension the carpet to eliminate wrinkles. We secure it, trim the edges precisely, and fit doorway bars between rooms.
Step 4: Final Inspection
We walk through the completed work with you and check everything is secure. We vacuum all debris and remove waste materials. Any final adjustments are handled on the spot.
Popular Carpets for Wideopen Homes
Our fitters work throughout Wideopen daily, from Great North Road to Five Mile Park. After fitting hundreds of carpets in NE13, we know which styles work best for each property type.
Older Semis and Terraces Along Great North Road
Properties from the 1920s-1950s along Great North Road need carpets that handle uneven older floors. We recommend 80/20 wool blend twist pile carpets paired with 9mm acoustic underlay. This reduces noise between rooms and helps with draughts.
Most requested: Mid-grey twist pile, 40oz weight, with rubber-crumb acoustic underlay.
New-Build Estates (Five Mile Park & Brunswick Village)
Modern homes with underfloor heating need special underlays. Standard ones block heat and increase bills. We use 1.0 TOG underlays that let heat through. Soft saxony carpets suit the open-plan layouts and reflect light well.
We check subfloor screeds are fully cured first. New homes hold moisture for 12–18 months, which affects carpet performance.
Most requested: Light grey saxony, stain-resistant nylon blend, with 1.0 TOG underlay.
Bungalows Around Rotary Way & Wideopen Medical Centre
For residents using walking frames or wheelchairs, we fit short-pile loop or tight twist carpets. These don't catch on wheels or feet. We install low-profile metal trims at doorways to prevent trips.
Carpets with subtle patterns hide marks better than plain colours.
Most requested: Low-pile Berber in flecked tones, with firm-density underlay.
Family Homes Near Weetslade Country Park
Homes near Weetslade Country Park and Dinnington Road footpaths deal with muddy boots and pet paws. We recommend solution-dyed polypropylene or stain-resistant polyamide. These can be cleaned with diluted bleach without losing colour.
Families with dogs tell us textured loop pile hides pawprints between cleans.
Most requested: Action-back polypropylene in grey or brown, with moisture-resistant underlay for ground floors.
Areas in Wideopen We Cover
We fit carpets throughout Wideopen and know each neighbourhood's housing well.
Sacred Heart Conservation Area
The Grade II listed Sacred Heart Church anchors this historic area. Victorian properties nearby have high ceilings and large bay windows. We take extra care measuring and cutting carpet around these period features to get a perfect fit.
Five Mile Park Estate
Built by Bellway from 2012, this family estate sits between two country parks. Young families moving from Newcastle city centre choose these homes. Many have bifold doors opening onto gardens. We fit matching metal trims at these thresholds so your carpet meets outdoor spaces neatly.
Brunswick Village
This area grew around Dinnington Colliery before it closed in 1960. Former colliery housing has been renovated with modern extensions. We regularly fit carpets in these mixed-age homes where old coal house conversions now connect to new living spaces.
Seaton Burn
This village sits on the historic Great North Road coaching route. You'll find stone cottages alongside 1980s estates here. Many older properties have solid stone floors downstairs that stay cold. For these ground floors, we often recommend vinyl or laminate instead of carpet for better insulation.
Hazlerigg & Dinnington Road
Rural-edge properties here include converted farm buildings and detached houses on larger plots. Garages and boot rooms often connect directly to main living areas. We handle these multi-room installations where you need different flooring types in different spaces.
Customer Reviews
Emily T., Brambling Place
"Had them fit carpets throughout downstairs last month. We've got underfloor heating and they said it wouldn't be a problem - they were right. Lads were friendly enough and didn't leave too much mess. Happy with how it's turned out."
★★★★★
David T., Park View
"Got our bedrooms done in our old semi (1950s build near the conservation area). Bloke who came round to measure knew his stuff, he said the floorboards would need sorting first which added a bit to the cost but made sense. You can't hear every footstep upstairs now which is brilliant."
★★★★★
Emma R., Hayes Walk
"Really pleased with the carpets. We're near Weetslade park so the dog's always bringing mud in! They recommended something hard-wearing and it's been great, still looks good after 6 months. Kids have spilled juice on it a couple times and it's come out fine. Would definitely use them again"
