MEASURING TIPS

Measure into the deepest recess and doorways.

If your previous carpet had dark edges this is usually caused by gaps under the skirting (the dark egdes is dust/dirt captured by the carpet). We would recommend these gaps are filled prior to fitting.

Check if the doors will clear the new carpet and underlay. A joiner may be required to cut the doors after fitting.

Any gaps or squeaking floor boards should be repaired.

We would advise against using joins in loop pile carpets. If unavoidable, place joins in recessed areas that are not used as much as other areas in the room. Stray filaments should be cut using scissors and care taken when cleaning.

Avoid chunky loop pile carpets on stairs .

All areas should be cleared of furniture and all old carpet removed prior to fitting
