Carpet Restretching Melbourne For Loose, Rippled And Wrinkled Carpet

What this service is for

Restretching is for carpet that has become loose, wavy, wrinkled or bunched up.

It is different from patching because the main issue is tension, not a missing or burned section.

How Dan approaches the repair

Dan checks the room shape, existing installation, backing condition and whether the carpet can be safely tensioned.

Old, brittle, delaminated or previously poorly installed carpet may limit the result.

Workmanship Promise

We stand behind our restretching workmanship. If the same area loosens again because of our stretching work, contact us and we’ll review it fairly. This does not cover old, brittle, delaminated, water-damaged, heavily worn or previously poorly installed carpet.
