Fitting day
Fitting is usually finished in a single visit — furniture back in place, offcuts and rubbish taken away, Shacklewell 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 Shacklewell?
Prices for carpet whipping in Shacklewell 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 Shacklewell?
Yes — uplifting and disposing of old carpet, vinyl or flooring is standard on most Shacklewell 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 Shacklewell?
We do — weekend fitting is available in Shacklewell 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 you fit stairs and landings in Shacklewell?
Yes — stairs, landings, winders and bullnose steps are all part of the job for our Shacklewell 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.
Can I supply my own materials for you to fit in Shacklewell?
Yes — plenty of Shacklewell customers buy their own carpet, vinyl or flooring and book us for the fitting alone. We'll still come and measure first so you order the right quantity, and we'll flag anything that might affect the fit, like a thin underlay or an uneven subfloor that needs extra preparation.
Are your Shacklewell fitters insured?
Yes, all our fitting teams working in Shacklewell 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.
Is underlay included in your Shacklewell quotes?
It depends on the job. Where underlay is part of the work, we always list it separately on your Shacklewell 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.
