Door Cutting After New Carpet Fitted – Sunderland
Door cutting after new carpet fitted in Sunderland is a common solution when internal doors start catching or rubbing on the carpet.
After new carpets and underlay are installed, the floor height often rises slightly. This reduces the gap under the door and can stop it opening and closing properly.
In most cases, the fix is simple – the bottom of the door needs trimming slightly and then rehanging correctly so it clears the carpet again.

New carpet and underlay can raise the finished floor level enough to make internal doors catch. This is especially common with thicker carpets, deeper underlay or older doors that already had a tight gap underneath.
If your door is catching on carpet after fitting, trimming the door is usually the neatest and most practical solution.
