One of the largest intact Victorian districts in the country — narrow row houses, high ceilings, long hallways and almost entirely hardwood floors.
Heavy area-rug use out of necessity rather than decoration: runners in the halls, layered rugs in the parlours. A mix of inherited Orientals and contemporary pieces, often in awkward long-and-narrow sizes.
Row houses mean rugs sit against radiators and in high-traffic corridors, so wear concentrates in bands rather than spreading evenly. Fringe and edge damage at the ends of runners is the most common repair here.
Collection and return across Richmond city is free. We collect the rug, assess it at the facility, and confirm the price before any work begins — a wool rug is heavy and awkward once rolled, and moving it yourself is a common way to crease a foundation.

Send the approximate size and whatever you know about where the rug has been living — hardwood, a basement, a room that runs on radiator heat all winter. We’ll answer with an estimate and a pick-up slot. No figure is settled before the rug has been measured and inspected in person.
