What Makes Us Different
We measure and assess properly before we quote, so Clapham customers aren't paying for guesswork or getting caught out on the day.
No call centre and no subcontractor auctions — your Clapham enquiry goes straight to the fitter who'll actually do the carpet whipping work.
The same small team handles your job from first message to final clean-up, whether you're in Clapham or out towards Clapham Town.
Cover stretches from Clapham across to Clapham Town and Clapham Common, so you get a team that knows the area, not a one-off visit from out of town.
How It Works
Measure & quote
Message us on WhatsApp with your Clapham postcode and rough room sizes — we'll come back with a written quote the same day, free and with no obligation.
Choose your flooring
We'll help you pick the right materials for the room — factoring in footfall, pets, kids and budget — before anything is ordered.
Preparation
Old flooring and any repairs to the subfloor are sorted first, so the final fit goes down flat and true.
Fitting day
On the day, our Clapham team fits everything to trade standard, protects your home as they go, and clears up before they leave.
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.

Guides & Advice
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you take away my old flooring in Clapham?
Yes — uplifting and disposing of old carpet, vinyl or flooring is standard on most Clapham 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.
Are your Clapham fitters insured?
Yes, all our fitting teams working in Clapham and across South 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.
Do I need to move the furniture before you arrive in Clapham?
Not for most rooms — our Clapham fitters will move sofas, beds and other everyday furniture as part of the job and put it back afterwards. For fitted wardrobes, heavy units or anything fragile and valuable, we'd ask you to clear it beforehand so nothing gets damaged and the day runs to time.
Do you work weekends in Clapham?
We do — weekend fitting is available in Clapham 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.
Do you cover all of Clapham and South London?
Yes. Our fitting teams work right across South London, including Clapham itself and nearby areas such as Clapham Town and Clapham Common. If you're anywhere near the SW4 postcode you're comfortably within our patch, and if you're a little further out, just ask — we cover a wide radius and can usually still help.
How much does carpet whipping cost in Clapham?
Prices for carpet whipping in Clapham typically run £3–£6 per linear metre for whipped edge, and £35–£70 per rug for offcut to rug (2×3m). Guide prices — your exact quote depends on room sizes and the materials you choose. Send your room sizes on WhatsApp and we'll reply with an exact, itemised quote the same day — free, with no obligation to book.
Is underlay included in your Clapham quotes?
It depends on the job. Where underlay is part of the work, we always list it separately on your Clapham 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.
