What Makes Us Different
We measure and assess properly before we quote, so Lye customers aren't paying for guesswork or getting caught out on the day.
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.
No call centre and no subcontractor auctions — your Lye enquiry goes straight to the fitter who'll actually do the carpet whipping work.
Cover stretches from Lye across to Quarry Bank and Hodge Hill, so you get a team that knows the area, not a one-off visit from out of town.
How It Works
Measure & quote
Tell us what you need doing in Lye 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 Lye.
Fitting day
Fitting is usually finished in a single visit — furniture back in place, offcuts and rubbish taken away, Lye 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 Lye and West Midlands?
Yes. Our fitting teams work right across West Midlands, including Lye itself and nearby areas such as Quarry Bank and Hodge Hill. If you're anywhere near the DY9 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.
Is underlay included in your Lye quotes?
It depends on the job. Where underlay is part of the work, we always list it separately on your Lye 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.
Do I need to move the furniture before you arrive in Lye?
Not for most rooms — our Lye 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 Lye?
Yes — uplifting and disposing of old carpet, vinyl or flooring is standard on most Lye 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 Lye fitters insured?
Yes, all our fitting teams working in Lye and across West Midlands 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.
How much does carpet whipping cost in Lye?
Prices for carpet whipping in Lye 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.
Do you fit stairs and landings in Lye?
Yes — stairs, landings, winders and bullnose steps are all part of the job for our Lye 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.
