Want Your Boot Carpet Protected?
You've bought the boot liner - sensible move for protecting carpet from mud, dog hair, DIY supplies, and general car boot life.
Now you're looking at it thinking "this needs to sit perfectly flat or it'll look rubbish and slide around."
Custom-fit liners especially can be awkward - raised edges, specific shaping, needs to sit just right.
💡 Pro tip: Custom-molded liners for your specific car model are way better than universal mats. Cost more but fit perfectly and don't slide around.

What to Expect
Step 1: Boot Prep
Clear out the boot, make sure carpet's clean and dry for the liner to sit on properly.
Step 2: Position Liner
Line it up correctly - custom liners have specific orientation. Get edges aligned with boot sides.
Step 3: Flatten & Secure
Work out any wrinkles, press into corners, secure any mounting points (some liners clip or velcro in).
🔧 DIY Tips
Honestly, you can probably do this:
🔧 What you need
- Your boot liner
- Clean boot
- 10 minutes
🚗 Fitting steps
- Remove everything from boot
- Vacuum boot carpet
- Check liner orientation (front/back/which way up)
- Place liner in boot, work from back forward
- Press edges into corners
- Smooth out wrinkles from center outward
- Secure any mounting points or velcro
- Check it sits flat when boot closed
⚠️ Common mistakes
- Putting it in wrong way round (they're shaped)
- Not pressing into corners (gaps let dirt under)
- Leaving wrinkles (looks bad, catches on stuff)
- Not securing mounting points (slides around)
💡 Pro trick: If it's a hot day, leave the liner in the sun for 10 minutes before fitting - the rubber becomes more flexible and easier to press into shape.
Rather leave it to a pro? No problem - that's what I'm here for. Give me a call.
Good to Know
🚗 Multiple car jobs? If I'm already at yours for other car work, chucking in a boot liner takes 10 minutes and costs you nothing extra beyond the minimum call-out.
Dog owners: Get a liner with raised sides - contains mud, water, dog hair way better than flat mats. Worth the extra cost.
Trade vehicles: Heavy-duty rubber liners for vans last years and save your boot floor. Especially worth it if you carry tools, building supplies, or anything rough.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why pay someone to fit a boot liner?
Honestly, most people don't - it's pretty straightforward. But custom-fit liners can be tricky to get sitting perfectly flat with no wrinkles, especially ones with raised sides. If you want it done right first time or you're nervous about damaging your new car, £60 sorts it in 10 minutes.
What type of boot liners can you fit?
Rubber mats, custom-molded plastic liners, quilted fabric liners, or heavy-duty load liners. As long as it fits your car's boot, I can get it positioned and secured properly so it stays put and looks good.
Will the liner damage my boot carpet?
No - liners protect the carpet, they don't damage it. Some have anti-slip backing that might leave slight impressions but nothing permanent. When you remove the liner, carpet underneath is pristine.
Do I need to remove the boot liner for MOT?
No - boot liners are fine. MOT testers might lift it to check for rust in the boot floor, but the liner itself isn't a problem. Just make sure it's not covering any safety labels or fire extinguisher mounts.
Can you fit liners in vans and estates too?
Yes - actually estates and vans benefit more from boot liners because they carry dirty stuff more often. Process is the same, just bigger liner. Might take 15-20 minutes instead of 10.
