Carpet Binders is a Canterbury carpet binding workroom at 100A Hayton Road in Sockburn, Christchurch. It turns carpet offcuts into practical mats and area rugs by edging and binding them. Pieces up to 4 metres by 10 metres can be bound, and the workroom also makes mats for motorhomes, caravans, boats, yachts and car restoration projects. It offers three finishes: traditional wool blanket stitch, slimline tape binding, and wider designer tapes of 3 inch and 5 inch.
The workroom is open from 8am on weekdays. Customers can drop work in, use the pick-up and return delivery service for a small fee, or book the express service for one or two mats by ringing first. Out-of-town customers can drop pieces in first thing and collect them before 4pm, and after-hours drop-off is possible in a weatherproof shed. The usual turnaround is 48 hours. Carpet Binders takes EFTPOS and major credit cards, and it runs a twice-weekly delivery run to North Canterbury and a similar one to towns south of the city. Customers who have used it say the turnaround was quick and the finish was excellent.
