What Makes Us Different
We measure and assess properly before we quote, so Kensington customers aren't paying for guesswork or getting caught out on the day.
The same small team handles your job from first message to final clean-up, whether you're in Kensington or out towards Holland Park.
Cover stretches from Kensington across to Holland Park and Holland, so you get a team that knows the area, not a one-off visit from out of town.
Prices are agreed upfront on WhatsApp — nothing changes once the van's outside your W8 address.
How It Works
Measure & quote
Tell us what you need doing in Kensington 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 Kensington.
Fitting day
Fitting is usually finished in a single visit — furniture back in place, offcuts and rubbish taken away, Kensington floors left clean.
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
Do you cover all of Kensington and West London?
Yes. Our fitting teams work right across West London, including Kensington itself and nearby areas such as Holland Park and Holland. If you're anywhere near the W8 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.
Do I need to move the furniture before you arrive in Kensington?
Not for most rooms — our Kensington 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.
Can you take away my old flooring in Kensington?
Yes — uplifting and disposing of old carpet, vinyl or flooring is standard on most Kensington 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 work weekends in Kensington?
We do — weekend fitting is available in Kensington 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.
How much does carpet whipping cost in Kensington?
Prices for carpet whipping in Kensington 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.
How soon can you fit in Kensington?
It depends on the job and time of year, but many Kensington 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.
Are your Kensington fitters insured?
Yes, all our fitting teams working in Kensington and across West 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.
