What Makes Us Different
We measure and assess properly before we quote, so The Lane customers aren't paying for guesswork or getting caught out on the day.
The same small team handles your job from first message to final clean-up, whether you're in The Lane or out towards Peckham Rye.
No call centre and no subcontractor auctions — your The Lane enquiry goes straight to the fitter who'll actually do the carpet whipping work.
Cover stretches from The Lane across to Peckham Rye and Peckham, so you get a team that knows the area, not a one-off visit from out of town.
How It Works
Measure & quote
Message us on WhatsApp with your The Lane postcode and rough room sizes — we'll come back with a written quote the same day, free and with no obligation.
Choose your flooring
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 The Lane 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.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you cover all of The Lane and South London?
Yes. Our fitting teams work right across South London, including The Lane itself and nearby areas such as Peckham Rye and Peckham. If you're anywhere near the SE15 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.
How much does carpet whipping cost in The Lane?
Prices for carpet whipping in The Lane 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.
Are your The Lane fitters insured?
Yes, all our fitting teams working in The Lane and across South 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 you work weekends in The Lane?
We do — weekend fitting is available in The Lane 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.
Can I supply my own materials for you to fit in The Lane?
Yes — plenty of The Lane 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.
Can you take away my old flooring in The Lane?
Yes — uplifting and disposing of old carpet, vinyl or flooring is standard on most The Lane 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 I need to move the furniture before you arrive in The Lane?
Not for most rooms — our The Lane 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.
