Carpet repair
The most common types of carpet repairs I am called upon to carry out are inserting patches to replace worn or damaged sections of carpet, stair carpet repairs and repairs to faulty carpet joins.
Common problems would include cigarette burns, iron burns, bleach, red wine, pet stains, tears and rips etc.
Repairing carpets in this way involves cutting out the affected area and then replacing it with a spare piece of carpet which has been cut to fit. The carpet repair is then glued into position.
Clearly, you will need to have a spare piece of carpet available for this type of carpet repair. This can often be accomplished by taking material from underneath a piece of furniture.
Stair Carpet Repair
Loose stair carpet can sometimes be repaired simply by refitting the carpet back onto the carpet gripper underneath. In other cases I may need to lift and refit the carpet completely in order to leave the stair carpet repair in a safe condition.
Individual treads that have become worn can also be replaced without having to replace the carpet on the entire flight of stairs, thereby extending the life of the carpet. Repairing stair carpets in this way does require you to have some spare carpet for me to use for the repair.
Repairing Carpet Joins
Your carpet joins might have split or perhaps the carpet has come away from the metal joining strip under the door. With split seams these can sometimes be repaired by being broken open and re-seaming.
Carpets that have come away from doorbars can be repaired sometimes by stretching and some times by fitting slightly wider doorbars.
