Carpet fitting in Ordsall

Almost always, with the right method. Local walls are boarded partitions and dabbed drywall against concrete frame, so heavy items are strapped back to the structure rather than hung on the lining, so the substrate is scanned and tested first and the fixing chosen to suit. A standard Ordsall job takes around 119 minutes.

Access here is typically loading through the residents’ car park with the lift booked, so nothing wide is dragged through a stairwell. Salford City Council controls parking in M5, so any permit or visitor bay is arranged before the visit and included in the quoted price — never added afterwards.

Single room starts at from £129 and stairs with winders and landing is from £249. The price is set by the floor area, the number of stairs and whether the old carpet is being lifted and fixed in writing before we travel. Rates are identical across M5 — postcode never changes the figure.

Yes. Winders are cut and fitted individually rather than folded round, which takes longer but is the only way the treads sit tight and wear evenly. Nothing changes for Ordsall — Salford rates are identical.

Yes, along with the underlay, gripper and nails, disposed of through a licensed carrier with a waste transfer note if you need one. Nothing changes for Ordsall — Salford rates are identical.

Yes. Everyone attending a Ordsall job is DBS-checked, reference-verified and covered by £1m public liability insurance. You get their name before the visit and they carry photo ID.

Most Ordsall homes have concrete slab downstairs and suspended timber upstairs, which is two different fitting approaches in one house. Before any gripper goes down we do the prep that floor needs: slab checked for high spots and dusting, latex levelling compound where the screed has worn, and upstairs boards re-fixed at the landing where the traffic line has loosened them. Prep is quoted on the survey with a price, not added on the day.

Typical here is a standard straight flight of 13 treads with a square half-landing, which fits cleanly off one length with a folded nosing on each step. Straight treads are stretched and folded off one length; winders and open risers are templated, cut and stitched individually so the pile direction stays consistent down the flight and the nosings hold their shape.

Regular 3.2–3.9m room widths, so a 4m broadloom fits seam-free in almost every bedroom and lounge on the estate. Standard broadloom comes in 4m and 5m widths, so we measure on the survey and tell you before you buy whether the room fits seam-free — and if a seam is needed, where it will fall.

For this stock we specify 10–11mm PU foam through the bedrooms and lounge with a firmer crumb-rubber grade on the stairs and landing where the wear is. Underlay does most of the work for warmth, step and how long the pile stays upright, so it is matched to the floor and the traffic rather than sold as one grade for the whole house.
