Not every carpet problem has an obvious solution. Staining, rippling, visible damage or general wear and tear can have a number of causes, and it is not always clear whether a carpet needs repairing, cleaning or replacing. A professional carpet inspection can help establish the condition of your flooring, identify potential issues and determine the most appropriate way forward.
With over 40 years of flooring experience, Richard Morgan Carpet Services provides carpet inspections in Peterborough and throughout Cambridgeshire. We can assess carpets affected by staining, wear, damage, stretching, burns and other problems, offering practical advice on the options available.
What Does a Carpet Inspection Involve?
Every carpet is different, so the inspection will depend on the type of problem and the condition of the flooring. We will assess the visible signs of damage and deterioration to help identify possible causes and suitable solutions.
When things go wrong and a dispute happens I will act as an independent inspector.
We will include types of the following in our report:
-
General observation from standing position
-
Sketch a plan with dimensions Installation directon, Pattern, Locations of issue
-
Perimeter Cutting and tucking, Architraves, Door Bars
-
Tension and Stretching
-
Underlay Type, Condition (new/preused), Cutting in, Fixings, Taped Joints
-
Grippers Cutting, Fixing, Correct Gully
-
Seams Location, Quality (cut accurately, sealed), Integrity
-
Evenness and solidarity of the subfloor
-
Any other noticeable issues
Following the inspection, we can explain our findings and discuss the options that may be available. The most suitable solution will depend on the carpet's material, age, condition and the nature of the problem.
Carpet Repair or Replacement?
A damaged carpet does not necessarily need to be replaced. In some cases, a professional repair or suitable treatment may help extend its useful life and improve its appearance. An inspection can help establish whether this is a realistic option before you commit to the cost of new flooring.
Typical issues include:
Typical Issues
-
Updraft soiling
-
Shading, pile reversal, flattening, pole marks

Pilling, shredding, fading, discolouration
-
Line faults
-
Indentations, damage, soiling, staining from use, beetle larvae, moth damage
-
We can send carpet samples away for wear tests
-
We can test the robustness of an anti-stain or anti-soil finish
-
We can check is there is an issue after cleaning
-
The correct cleaning method has been used for the type of carpet
-
If there is oversetting and for cellulosic browning from wicking by jute or hessian backed carpets
We will discuss the options with you and help you understand the potential benefits and limitations of each approach. Although repairs can be a cost-effective alternative to replacement in some situations, the result will depend on the type of carpet and the extent of the damage.
