What Makes Us Different
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.
Prices are agreed upfront on WhatsApp — nothing changes once the van's outside your E3 address.
Cover stretches from Old Ford across to Bow East and Bow, so you get a team that knows the area, not a one-off visit from out of town.
The same small team handles your job from first message to final clean-up, whether you're in Old Ford or out towards Bow East.
How It Works
Measure & quote
Tell us what you need doing in Old Ford 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 Old Ford.
Fitting day
Fitting is usually finished in a single visit — furniture back in place, offcuts and rubbish taken away, Old Ford 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.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does carpet whipping cost in Old Ford?
Prices for carpet whipping in Old Ford 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.
Can you take away my old flooring in Old Ford?
Yes — uplifting and disposing of old carpet, vinyl or flooring is standard on most Old Ford 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 Old Ford?
Yes — stairs, landings, winders and bullnose steps are all part of the job for our Old Ford 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.
Do you work weekends in Old Ford?
We do — weekend fitting is available in Old Ford 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 I need to move the furniture before you arrive in Old Ford?
Not for most rooms — our Old Ford 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.
Is underlay included in your Old Ford quotes?
It depends on the job. Where underlay is part of the work, we always list it separately on your Old Ford 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.
How soon can you fit in Old Ford?
It depends on the job and time of year, but many Old Ford 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.
