When it comes to updating your home with new carpeting, one of the first questions many homeowners ask is, “Can carpet fitters work around furniture?” The short answer is yes, but there’s more to it than simply answering in the affirmative. Understanding the process, preparation, and what you can do to ensure a smooth installation are key to getting your new carpet fitted without a hitch.
Our team of skilled carpet fitters is well-equipped to handle installations in rooms that are furnished. However, to ensure the process is as efficient and safe as possible for both the homeowner and the installation team, we have a few simple requests.
Before our fitters arrive, we ask that all small movable items, such as lamps, photo frames, and any other loose items, are moved out of the area. This not only helps protect your belongings but also clears the space for our team to work efficiently.
For larger pieces of furniture, like sofas and beds, you don’t need to worry. Our fitters are experienced in manoeuvring around such items with care. They will strategically move these items to one side of the room, allowing them to start work on the cleared space. Once that area is carpeted, they’ll shift the furniture to the opposite side to complete the installation. This method ensures that your entire floor is covered without the need to remove all furniture from the room.
If you have bulky items like freestanding wardrobes or heavy bookcases, we only ask that these be emptied in advance. The reason is simple: emptying these pieces makes them lighter and easier to move, reducing the risk of injury to our team and damage to your property or the furniture itself.
Choosing professional carpet fitters comes with several benefits. Not only does it save you the time and effort of trying to install carpet yourself, but professionals also ensure that the job is done right. This includes:
- Expert Handling: Our team knows how to handle various types of furniture and navigate different room layouts efficiently.
- Precision Cutting: Fitting carpet around obstacles requires precision cutting to ensure a snug, seamless finish.
- Time Efficiency: With a professional team, the installation process is much faster, meaning you can enjoy your new carpet sooner.
- Peace of Mind: Knowing that experienced professionals are handling your carpet installation offers peace of mind that the job will be completed to high standards.

With a little preparation on your part and the expertise of professional carpet fitters, the process can be smooth and hassle-free.
