Top tips

Hiring a furniture repair, without the regret.

Four moves that separate a smooth job from a nightmare.

Colour Mismatch

Even "matching" yarn can look different under natural light; always ask for a sample check first.

Hidden Damage

Moths often eat the structural "warp" threads of a carpet, meaning a small hole may actually require a larger structural patch.

Re-infestation

Repairing a hole without treating the larvae elsewhere in the room will lead to new holes within weeks.

Fabric Shrinkage

If the item is steam-cleaned as part of the process, certain wools may shrink if not handled by a textile expert.

Costs & timeline

Know what it costs. Know when it ends.
