I encourage and inspire all first time DIY carpet layers with two pages of handy hints and info that help to make your work successful.
An example, in my info I share a great DIY alternative - if you havn't got a carpet stretcher then use a 4x2 hinged in the middle, work it as a leverage system by pushing it down in the middle, one end on the opposite wall and the other on the knee kicker, works brilliantly.
All this plus much more in my instructions included with every hirage.
My future changed after I saw carpet being laid. My turn came when I had to re-carpet some rentals that I had, this forced the good kiwi DIY-er out of me so I purchased my own tools. This has now saved me heaps for the number of times that I have used them. So these tools are available for hire, as I'm not using them all the time.
All you need is a good sharp Stanley knife and some good Kiwi do-it yourself attitude. I'm happy to talk you through in your laying if you have any questions.

gamezfreak (231 Friday, 18 July 2025 )Recently moved to the South Island to renovate the house we moved into. Found these tools for hire and enquired with the seller. Amazing communication and tools were in excellent condition. Managed to lay carpet in the areas of the house we had completed....Highly recommend to all and Alistair was so accommodating and helpful with an excellent instructions sent through email for us to follow... Appreciate the tools and thank you again for the amazing service. A++++++
fishing4me (171 Tuesday, 7 April 2020 )Wow what an awesome service, even in the midst of LOCKDOWN. We managed to get the gear we desperately needed to make sure our home was warm for winter. Courier picked it up. I made contact through the HOUSE FOR SALE post, and emailed the whole deal. I talked to civil defence and they agreed the products were essential under the health and heating guidelines. Thankyou Alistair & Carolyn you guys are amazing and nothing was too much for you. Definitely recommend. Service exceptional.
Trader responded Tuesday, 7 April 2020Thanks heaps for your comments. We are all in this together at this difficult time and it was our pleasure to accomplish for you what was a real need for you. Keep well and keep safe.
optimism (103 Friday, 27 March 2020 )Really good and timely communication. Also quick to despatch the carpet stretching items. I found the Handy Hints that accompanied the order quite helpful and I'm sure contributed to a great outcome. If you are thinking of doing your own carpet work then give it a try. Its far cheaper than what I got quoted to do the work by a carpet repair company. Thanks again.
