Don’t Replace Your Investment.
Restore It with Professional Carpet Repair
A single burn, ripple or worn doorway rarely justifies new flooring. Most fitters recommend a full replacement because it is easier for them. By re-tufting damaged fibres and restretching loose areas, our carpet repair service in London can save you up to 80% of the cost of new flooring. It also keeps a carpet that may already suit your property.
Types of Carpet Damage We Repair in London
Most carpet damage can be repaired without replacing the whole room. Besides burns and ripples or loose carpet, which have their own guides, our specialists regularly handle:
- Tears, holes and cuts: from furniture, pets or lifting, repaired with matching donor carpet.
- Split or lifted seams: joins that have opened or frayed along the edge.
- Frayed doorways and thresholds: worn edges where carpet meets a door bar.
- Pet damage: pulled loops, scratched areas and chewed corners.
- Moth damage: bald patches in wool carpet, common in period properties.
- Worn stair edges: repaired, or replaced with a fitted stair carpet runner.
The repair method also depends on the carpet. Wool, synthetic, twist and loop pile all behave differently, so we check the carpet type and pile direction before we choose how to repair it.
Our Carpet Repair Services in London
Invisible Re-Tufting and Donor Patching
Cigarette burns, iron marks and pet damage don’t need a new carpet. For carpet burn repair, we cut out the damaged fibres and hand-weave in matching pile from a donor piece, usually taken from a hidden area such as a wardrobe or under furniture. We match pile direction, density and colour, so the damage repair is virtually undetectable.
Power Re-Stretching & Structural Realignment
Loose, wavy or rippled carpet is a trip hazard and wears out faster. Unlike basic knee-kicker fixes, power carpet stretching uses industrial equipment to return the carpet to its original tension. Where the old underlay has worn flat, we replace it at the same time so the repair lasts.
Moth Damage Restoration for Period Propertie
Victorian and Edwardian homes are especially prone to moth damage in wool-rich carpets. We weave new wool yarn into the existing backing to restore bald patches, and we treat the area to prevent future larvae damage. Worn stair carpet in older homes can also be repaired or replaced with a fitted stair carpet runner.
Oriental and Persian Carpet Repair
ur technicians carry out oriental carpet repair and Persian carpet repair that preserves the original pattern, weave and colour, including fringe, edge and tear repairs. We assess each piece first, so we only recommend work that protects its value.
Carpet Repair or Replace? How to Decide
Repair is usually the better choice when the damage is in one area and the rest of the carpet is in good condition. A small hole, a split seam, a patch of moth damage or a pet-damaged corner can all be repaired and blended in. Replacement makes more sense when:
- the carpet is worn thin or matted across most of the room
- the backing has perished or come away from the weave
- there has been flood damage, with lingering damp or mould
- the colour has faded so much that a patch would not match
Age matters too. On an older, sun-faded carpet a perfect match is harder to achieve, and we’ll tell you honestly if replacement is better value. If it is, we can fit a new carpet and the right underlay. Not sure? Send us a photo on WhatsApp and we’ll advise before you spend anything.

How to Choose a Carpet Repair Specialist in London
A repair is only as good as the person doing it. Before you book, ask whether the company:
- matches pile direction, density and colour, rather than just cutting in a patch
- gives a fixed written quote after seeing the damage, with no hidden costs on the day
- is fully insured and offers a workmanship guarantee
- checks the subfloor and backing, so the repair doesn’t fail later
- can say honestly when replacement is the better option
We work this way on every job. See more of our finished repairs in the gallery, or contact us for a quote.
