When Retailers Let You Down
Left stranded with rolls of carpet or boxes of LVT in Dorking? Our emergency labor fitting rescue service is designed to get your project back on track, completing installations at transparent, competitive trade rates.
As an independent, fitting-only business, we step in to rescue these projects. You already have the materials; we provide the professional installation starting from just £9.00 per square metre. Most rescue jobs are scheduled and completed within 1 to 3 days of your call.
Why Retail Customers Choose Our Rescue Service
By using an independent specialist instead of high-street subcontractors, you get a premium installation without retail markups. We stretch carpets using mechanical power stretchers to prevent future ripples, secure floorboards to eliminate squeaks, and perform moisture tests before laying LVT.
We are happy to supply premium PU underlay, heavy-duty grippers, and door threshold strips at direct trade rates, saving you from the inflated accessory markups typical of national chains.
