How It Works
Measure & quote
Tell us what you need doing in St James's 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 St James's.
Fitting day
Fitting is usually finished in a single visit — furniture back in place, offcuts and rubbish taken away, St James's 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
Can you take away my old flooring in St James's?
Yes — uplifting and disposing of old carpet, vinyl or flooring is standard on most St James's 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 St James's?
Yes — stairs, landings, winders and bullnose steps are all part of the job for our St James's 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 soon can you fit in St James's?
It depends on the job and time of year, but many St James's 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.
Do you work weekends in St James's?
We do — weekend fitting is available in St James's 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 cover all of St James's and Central London?
Yes. Our fitting teams work right across Central London, including St James's itself and nearby areas such as Piccadilly and Chinatown. If you're anywhere near the SW1Y 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.
Are your St James's fitters insured?
Yes, all our fitting teams working in St James's and across Central 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.
Do I need to move the furniture before you arrive in St James's?
Not for most rooms — our St James's 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.
