What our carpet repair service includes
Good to know: Matching carpet must be available on site for patch repairs. Some damage cannot be repaired, and a repair may remain visible because of wear, colour or pile differences.
How we assess and repair carpet
We start with an on-site assessment of the damage and the carpet. For a small patch, matching carpet may be taken from a spare offcut or an inconspicuous area such as a cupboard. Matching material needs to be available on site.
For loose or rippling carpet, we use professional power-stretching equipment to re-tension it and help prevent premature wear. We explain which method is realistic for the material and affected area before work starts.
- Burns, scorch marks, rips, tears and pet damage
- Loose, rippling or bubbling carpet, including after water damage
- Moving-furniture damage, including dents and flattened patches
- Seam and carpet-to-hard-floor transition repairs
- Patch repairs using available matching carpet
More about carpet repair
When repair makes sense
A damaged patch or fraying seam can get worse with foot traffic. Repairing it promptly may improve the appearance and prevent the affected area spreading. Loose carpet can also be a trip hazard.
A repair will not always be invisible. Colour, pile direction, wear and the available matching carpet affect the finish. We will tell you when replacement is the more realistic option.
What to expect
How we carry out the work, step by step.
Inspect
Assess the damage, carpet condition and affected area.
Confirm options
Check for matching carpet if a patch is needed, then choose patching, joining or stretching.
Repair
Patch, join or power-stretch the carpet as agreed.
Review
Check the repair for visible differences in colour, wear or pile.
How visible will a carpet repair be?
A professional repair can make local damage virtually undetectable when the carpet matches well. We check the available colour, pile and wear before patching, and use power stretching to flatten ripples without replacing the carpet.
