Carpet Fitting Question

[steveoelliott]

Not sure whether this is the right forum for this question but hey I can ask...

 

Had a new carpet fitted yesterday by a local company. It's got to be swapped as after the fitter left, noticed several faults with the loops slap bang in the middle. However, looking at the fitting around the edges, is this normal? In a couple of areas you can feel the gripper pins too if you push down.

 

I'll bring it to their attention when they come out next week.

Before anybody mentions that annoying join in wallpaper, that plays havoc with my OCD but nothing I can do about it now

Looks like it just needs pressing under the skirting 

No big deal if it’s being replaced

Is your issue the opening up of the piles where it is pressed down at the edges?

 

That I believe is called "grinning"

 

If so the only way to avoid that is a different carpet.  It is generally something you have to consider on a stair carpet where it is being formed round the nose of a stair.
