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 Portslade 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
Do you fit stairs and landings in Portslade?
Yes — stairs, landings, winders and bullnose steps are all part of the job for our Portslade 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.
How much does carpet whipping cost in Portslade?
Prices for carpet whipping in Portslade 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 Portslade quotes?
It depends on the job. Where underlay is part of the work, we always list it separately on your Portslade 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 Portslade fitters insured?
Yes, all our fitting teams working in Portslade and across South East 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 Portslade?
Not for most rooms — our Portslade 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 Portslade?
Yes — uplifting and disposing of old carpet, vinyl or flooring is standard on most Portslade 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 cover all of Portslade and South East?
Yes. Our fitting teams work right across South East, including Portslade itself and nearby areas such as Hove and Shoreham-by-Sea. If you're anywhere near the BN41 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.
