Carpet re-stretching is needed when your carpets are loose and "baggy". Carpet restretching removes buckles and greatly improves the appearance of your carpets. We can also repair seams, burn spots, patch holes and install new metals where the carpet and tile meet. A new service for red stain removal is now available as well.
Restretching is used for loose and wrinkled carpets. Like a facelift, restretching makes carpeting tight again. This also prolongs the carpet's life by eliminating wrinkles which can cause the carpet to wear more quickly from the constant back and forth bending that occurs when they are stepped on. It also reduces the danger of tripping on the loose material.
In either case the objective with carpet stretching is to prevent premature wear, reduce any tripping hazard and to improve as much as possible the unsightly appearance of the affected carpet.

Our customers often describe carpets that need stretching as being "wrinkled" or sometimes as being "wavy".
The correct term for this condition is "fullness" and is usually rectified by having the carpet restretched by a professional carpet fitter.
Usually this will involve us taking the carpet up around the edges, carrying out the carpet stretching by using a knee kicker carpet stretcher and then re-fitting the carpet and trimming off the surplus carpet.
In extreme cases it may be better for us to use a carpet power stretcher in order to get a good result.

We carry underlay and carpet gripper etc with us at all times should they be required.
Loose stair carpet can sometimes be repaired simply by refitting the carpet back onto the carpet gripper underneath. In other cases we may need to lift and refit the carpet completely in order to leave the stair carpet repair in a safe condition.
Individual treads that have become worn can also be replaced without having to replace the carpet on the entire flight of stairs, thereby extending the life of the carpet. Repairing stair carpets in this way does require you to have some spare carpet for me to use for the repair.
Your carpet joins might have split or perhaps the carpet has come away from the metal joining strip under the door. With split seams these can sometimes be repaired by being broken open and re-seaming.
Carpets that have come away from doorbars can be repaired sometimes by stretching and some times by fitting slightly wider doorbars.
We are very happy to provide you with a labour only carpet fitting service for carpets that you may already have acquired from another source.
