Carpet questions from Gillingham customers
Do you fit carpet on stairs and landings as a single run?
Yes — we cut the carpet to wrap stairs and landing in one continuous piece wherever practical, which removes seam wear and gives a cleaner finish.
Wool or synthetic — which is better?
Wool feels softer, holds its appearance longer and is naturally fire-retardant. Synthetic twists are easier to clean and more budget-friendly — we'll bring both to your Lower Rainham or local survey so you can compare in your own light.
How long does a typical carpet fit take?
A 3-bed house is usually a full day for lift, prep and fit. Single rooms are typically a half day.
Is the quote fixed or can it move on the day?
The quote you sign is the quote you pay. We've already lifted edges, taken moisture readings and inspected the subfloor during the survey — anything that would change the price gets flagged then, not on the day.
Can you fit carpet between tenancies in Gillingham?
Yes — we run a fast-turnaround service for landlords and letting agents across Gillingham, often measuring on a Monday and fitting later that week.
