Save Money!  Make Your Own Rug From Carpet Scraps!

If you have just had new carpet laid in your home, it is highly likely the carpet layer has left you some carpet left over.  

Why not turn these off-cuts into practical made-to-measure rugs.  Just tell us what size you want your finished item.  We will cut it to size and bind the edges in a matching or contrasting colour of your choice. 

Examples of areas that might need work or protection mats include the front and back doors,  by the fire, under the dining table, in front of the kitchen sink, where the dog sleeps, and in the internal access way from the garage. 

We have a large workroom and are able to cater for large pieces - 3 x 3.6m or bigger.  

We are also able to re-finish clean rugs too.

We are able to finish rugs that are not just squares or rectangles.  We have completed rugs that fit into caravans, motorhomes, boats, car boots and fire hearth surrounds. 

Many of our customers are either businesses with office and reception areas, or government entities such as schools, and rental accommodation providers where we have bound carpets to create area rugs that are fit for the purpose such classrooms or to protect the investment of the flooring the rug is laid on.

We service outside of the Canterbury region with our carpet finishing service.

People from the wider South Island and occasionally from the North Island seek our professional carpet hemming service and are pleasantly surprised by three things.

1. Having a choice in edge binding finishes. 
2. The short turn around time for completing the carpet binding.
3.  The choice of using their preferred freight forwarder.

Our Out of Canterbury Service five-step process works as follows.

1. Clients contact us to discuss their requirements.
2. The carpet piece is sent to our workshop via their prefered transport provider.
3. We reconnect with the client to ensure instructions can be completed as per their wishes.
4. We measure, cut and bind, then wrap the rug or rugs for freighting back to the client. 
5. Arrangements are made for return freighting at the client's cost.

The turnaround for this service is usually a week from the time carpet piece leaves and returns home as a practical mat fit for purpose. Under this system, we can service customers anywhere in New Zealand including Stewart Island and the Chatham Islands.

We provide two different edging services, the woollen blanket stitch overlocking and the highly sort after commercial narrow tape binding.

Overlocking Service

Overlocking is a nice tightly woven woollen blanket stitch.

As part of our core overlocking service we are able to offer you the following:

• We cut to your measurements.
• Same day service.
• We match the colour of the yarn to your carpet as closely as possible from our extensive supply of yarn.
• The stitching we use is a neat and tight blanket stitch.
