Professional rug removal for Devon elderly residents - loose rugs removed to eliminate trip hazards and create safer, clearer floor space.
Remove The Trip Hazards
Rugs look nice but cause falls. Edges curl up, you catch a toe, down you go. Removing them is safer. Clear floor, nothing to catch, confident walking.
💡 Pro tip: If you love a rug, we can secure it instead of removing. But often, removing is the safest option.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why remove rugs?
Loose rugs are trip hazards, especially for unsteady feet. Edges curl, corners lift, they slide. Removing them makes walking safer.
What do you do with the rugs?
We roll them up and take them away, store them for you, or give to charity if suitable. Your choice. They don't have to go in a skip.
What about the floor underneath?
Usually fine - maybe needs a clean. If there's damage or discolouration, we can advise on options. Most floors look fine once rug is gone.
Can you do multiple rugs?
Yes - hallway, living room, bedroom, wherever. Often best to do a whole house check and remove all hazards in one visit.
