What Makes Us Different
Prices are agreed upfront on WhatsApp — nothing changes once the van's outside your BR2 address.
Cover stretches from Shortlands across to Bromley Town and Bromley, so you get a team that knows the area, not a one-off visit from out of town.
No call centre and no subcontractor auctions — your Shortlands enquiry goes straight to the fitter who'll actually do the carpet repair work.
We tell you straight if a job's not worth doing, or if a cheaper fix will do — even if that means a smaller invoice for us.
How It Works
Measure & quote
Tell us what you need doing in Shortlands and we'll talk it through by phone or WhatsApp, then send a clear, itemised quote before anything's booked in.
Choose your flooring
Where new carpet, vinyl or flooring is needed, we can supply it ourselves or fit materials you've already bought — either way works for us.
Preparation
Before fitting day, we check subfloors, doors and thresholds so there are no surprises once the team is on-site in Shortlands.
Fitting day
Fitting is usually finished in a single visit — furniture back in place, offcuts and rubbish taken away, Shortlands floors left clean.
Carpet Repair & Re-stretching: Done Properly
Most repair call-outs fall into three camps — re-stretching, patching and seam work — and each needs a different tool, not a one-size fix. A rippled carpet is usually loose from the gripper rather than worn out, and a proper power-stretch across the room sorts it without buying new carpet. Burns and stains are cut out with a patch tool that matches the pile direction from a hidden offcut, so the repair doesn't show under normal light. Failing seams get re-taped and heat-bonded rather than glued, the only method that holds under foot traffic long-term.

Guides & Advice
Frequently Asked Questions
How soon can you fit in Shortlands?
It depends on the job and time of year, but many Shortlands customers get a date within a week of their quote being agreed. Smaller jobs like repairs or edging can often be turned around faster than a full room. Message us on WhatsApp with your postcode and we'll give you a realistic date, not a vague estimate.
Do you work weekends in Shortlands?
We do — weekend fitting is available in Shortlands for customers who can't take time off during the week, though those slots tend to book up faster than weekdays. Let us know your preference when you message us on WhatsApp and we'll do our best to match it, or offer the nearest available date.
Can I supply my own materials for you to fit in Shortlands?
Yes — plenty of Shortlands customers buy their own carpet, vinyl or flooring and book us for the fitting alone. We'll still come and measure first so you order the right quantity, and we'll flag anything that might affect the fit, like a thin underlay or an uneven subfloor that needs extra preparation.
Can you take away my old flooring in Shortlands?
Yes — uplifting and disposing of old carpet, vinyl or flooring is standard on most Shortlands jobs that involve a full uplift, so you're not left with offcuts piled in the garden. If your job doesn't naturally involve an uplift, such as a small repair, just ask when you get your quote.
Do you fit stairs and landings in Shortlands?
Yes — stairs, landings, winders and bullnose steps are all part of the job for our Shortlands fitters, finished to the same standard as any other room. Stairs need extra care to get safe and neat, so where your quote covers them we'll always price that work separately from the flat areas.
Are your Shortlands fitters insured?
Yes, all our fitting teams working in Shortlands and across South East London are fully insured, so you're covered in the unlikely event anything goes wrong in your home while we're on site. We're also happy to send proof of insurance ahead of the job if your landlord, managing agent or insurer asks for it.
Is underlay included in your Shortlands quotes?
It depends on the job. Where underlay is part of the work, we always list it separately on your Shortlands quote so you can see exactly what you're paying for — from £3 per m². If your existing underlay is still in good condition, we're happy to fit onto it and adjust the price down.
