Rug Repair and Carpet RepairMost common Rug repairs, Carpet repairsRepairing Worn Fringes of RugsMost damage occurs to the edges of rugs, usually to the fringes, binding and to the cord along the side. All are relatively easy to repair. We can restore and replace missing ends and secure the edges to prevent further damage. The edges of hand-knotted rugs will be rewrapped by hand using fibres as near as possible to the original colour and texture of the rug. If the foundation or edge cording is worn through, it will first have to be rebuilt. Wear and tearRestoration of a rug
can go as far as re-weaving a significantly large worn area or simply
putting fringes back together. We use hand spun wool and tailor made
vegetable dyes individually mixed for colour matching to suit the needs
of the rug. We can advise you on the viability of a repair, relative to
the value of the rug in question. Repairing Holes in RugsTry not to ignore these, they will only get bigger! Reweaving holes is easier if the warp and the weft of the rug do not have to be replaced in addition to re-piling or re-knotting. It is very important that the right yarn texture, finish, and colour are matched to the existing rug. For this reason sewing in patches has limited value, if any - especially on a good Oriental rug. Restoration by reweaving is highly recommended. Brightening a faded rug or correcting a colour runIn their lifetime
most rugs suffer from some form of spillage, either due to burst pipes,
leaky radiators or even pets accidents. Some rugs will cope with
liquids better than others and we often only find out after the event.
If your rug has had a colour run we can, in most cases, remove the
stain or colour run successfully. Moth damageMost moth damaged areas can be rewoven and restored. We also recommend our Moth Treatment to avoid further infestations and costly rug repair in the future. We try to
collect and deliver at a convenient time for you, usually early
evenings either during the week. Call 0800 612 7847 0790 451 6404
