How It Works
Measure & quote
Tell us what you need doing in Poplar 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 Poplar.
Fitting day
Fitting is usually finished in a single visit — furniture back in place, offcuts and rubbish taken away, Poplar 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 Poplar and East London?
Yes. Our fitting teams work right across East London, including Poplar itself and nearby areas such as East India and Lansbury and Canary Wharf. If you're anywhere near the E14 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 Poplar?
Not for most rooms — our Poplar 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 Poplar?
We do — weekend fitting is available in Poplar 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.
Is underlay included in your Poplar quotes?
It depends on the job. Where underlay is part of the work, we always list it separately on your Poplar 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.
Are your Poplar fitters insured?
Yes, all our fitting teams working in Poplar and across East 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.
Can you take away my old flooring in Poplar?
Yes — uplifting and disposing of old carpet, vinyl or flooring is standard on most Poplar 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 Poplar?
Yes — stairs, landings, winders and bullnose steps are all part of the job for our Poplar 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.
