Carpet Whipping & Edging: Done Properly
Whipping is the cheapest way to rescue good carpet that's fraying or being cut into rugs. Offcuts get a whipped edge machine-stitched around the perimeter, which stops the backing unravelling the way a raw cut edge does within weeks. Two edge types come up most often: a simple whipped edge for rugs and runners, and a heavier bound edge for stair runners taking repeated foot traffic. We match thread colour to the carpet rather than whatever's on the machine, so the finished edge looks intentional — a cost-effective option for anyone with decent offcuts left over from a bigger job.

Send us your postcode and room sizes on WhatsApp and we'll reply with an exact, itemised quote — free, with no obligation to book.
Do you cover my area?
Yes — we cover the UK. Our carpet whipping teams work across the country seven days a week, so wherever you're based, message us your postcode on WhatsApp and we'll confirm cover and the next available date.
How soon can you get started?
Many customers get a fitting date within a week of their quote being agreed, though this varies with the season and how busy we are locally. Message us on WhatsApp with your postcode and we'll give you a realistic date, not a vague estimate.
Are your fitters insured?
Yes, every fitting team we send out is fully insured, so you're covered in the unlikely event anything goes wrong while we're on site. We're happy to send proof of insurance ahead of the job if your landlord, managing agent or insurer needs to see it.
Can I supply my own materials for you to fit?
Yes — plenty of customers buy their own carpet, vinyl or flooring and book us for the fitting alone, at £3–£6 per linear metre. We'll still come and measure first so you order the right quantity, and flag anything that might affect the fit.
Will you take away my old flooring?
Yes — uplifting and disposing of old carpet, vinyl or flooring is standard on most jobs that involve a full uplift. If your job doesn't naturally involve an uplift, such as a small repair, just ask when you get your quote and we'll price it in.
