What is included
Carpet and rug cleaning by fibre. Wool, silk, viscose and synthetic each get their own chemistry and drying time. A hand knotted silk rug and a nylon office carpet have nothing in common except that both hold dust. We identify the fibre and construction first, then choose between shampoo, hot water extraction and low moisture methods so colours stay true and the pile recovers.
- Edge inspected and measured, and the binding style agreed with you
- Cloth tape binding or yarn whipping matched to colour and pile height
- Remnants cut square and bound into rugs or runners
- Work done on site or in a carpet workroom, as stated in the quotation
How we carry out carpet binding and edge repair
Edges fray where feet, vacuum heads and door sweeps catch them, and on a cut carpet the backing starts to unravel soon after. The supervisor looks at the edge, checks whether the backing is sound and agrees how it should be finished. Cloth tape binding gives a neat, flat border in a matching or contrasting colour. Whipping wraps yarn tightly around the edge, which suits wool rugs, loop pile and shaggier carpets. On a hand knotted rug the side cords are overcast with matching wool so the edge looks original.
Short repairs on a laid carpet can be done in the room. Most binding, though, needs a binding machine and a long flat table, so the carpet or rug is collected and the work is done in a carpet workroom, and the quotation states where it will be done. Wall to wall remnants left over after fitting are cut square and bound into rugs, runners or mats for the same house. Before anything is bound, the piece is cleaned, because dirt sealed into a new edge stains the tape. Return and laying are arranged with you.
How it works
The same method on every job, so the result does not depend on who is on shift.
- Site visit and written quotation. A supervisor visits, measures and records every room, surface and extra. The written quotation that follows sets out the scope, with no hourly meter and nothing added on the day.
- Protect and prepare. Lifts, floors and furniture are protected and delicate finishes are logged on a surface register before any product is opened.
- Dry before wet, top before bottom. Dust is lifted with HEPA filtered vacuums from ceilings and fittings downwards. Each zone is then wet cleaned with chemistry matched to its finish.
- Detail work and floors. Tracks, switches, skirtings, handles and glass are finished by hand. Floors are machine scrubbed last so nothing is walked back in.
- Inspection and report. The supervisor signs all fourteen checks, photographs the result and sends you the report within the hour.

Questions about carpet binding and edge repair
What does carpet binding and edge repair include?
Frayed or unravelled carpet and rug edges are bound with tape or whipped with yarn, and cut remnants are made into rugs. The quotation states where the work is done. The work includes edge inspected and measured, and the binding style agreed with you; cloth tape binding or yarn whipping matched to colour and pile height; remnants cut square and bound into rugs or runners.
Can you turn a leftover piece of carpet into a rug?
If the remnant is large enough and in good condition, it is cut square or to the shape you want and all four edges are bound or whipped so it does not fray. The quotation states the size, the edge finish and where the work is done.
Will the binding match my carpet?
Tape and yarn come in many colours, and the supervisor brings samples to the site visit to hold against the carpet in daylight. An exact match is not always possible on older or faded carpet, so a close tone or a deliberate contrast is agreed with you.
How much does carpet binding and edge repair cost in Dubai?
We do not publish prices, because no two jobs are the same. The main factors: size of the property and number of rooms; condition, and how long since the last deep clean. Book a site visit: a supervisor from The MELLS looks at the work and you receive a written quotation with a defined scope before anything begins.
Who provides carpet binding and edge repair in Dubai?
The MELLS provides carpet binding and edge repair in Dubai. The work is carried out by people The MELLS employs directly, under a named supervisor, 08:00 to 19:00, Monday to Saturday. To arrange it, book a site visit on this page or call +971 58 656 3001.
How long does carpet binding and edge repair take?
Typically 1 to 3 hours for most homes, with carpets dry in 4 to 8 hours. The time for your property is confirmed with the quotation.
Do you clean rugs at home or take them away?
Most rugs are cleaned at your home. Delicate silk and antique pieces can be collected for a controlled wash and returned.
Will cleaning shrink or fade my wool rug?
Not when it is cleaned correctly. We use wool safe products, cool water and controlled drying, and we test the dyes first.
How often should carpets be cleaned in Dubai?
Every six months in homes, and every three months in offices or homes with pets and children. Sand is abrasive and wears the pile if it stays in.
How do I choose a company for carpet binding and edge repair in Dubai?
Ask four things: who employs the people who will come, whether the scope is written down before work starts, how the result is checked, and what happens if something is missed. The MELLS uses its own staff, quotes in writing after a site visit, checks every job (14 Point Standard signed by the supervisor, with photographs before and after) and puts right any failed check free of charge within 48 hours.
How do I prepare for carpet binding and edge repair?
Put away valuables, papers and fragile items from the areas to be worked on and tell us about any delicate finishes. The supervisor confirms anything else at the site visit.
Do I need to provide any products or equipment?
No. Products, tools and machines come with the crew. Any materials the job needs, such as paint or parts, are listed in the written quotation.
What if I am not happy with the result?
Tell the supervisor at handover or call us. Anything that fails our check is put right free of charge within 48 hours.
