The Case of the Carpet-Chewing Hamster 🐹

Last month, we were called out to a home in Penenden Heath, Maidstone, where the homeowner was having serious issues with her bedroom carpet. At first, we assumed it was typical wear and tear… until she told us the full story.

She used to let her pet hamster roam freely around the bedroom floor as part of his daily exercise. Over time, the hamster developed a taste for the carpet and had chewed a sizeable hole near the wardrobe—right down to the underlay! 😳

Luckily, she called The Carpet Repair Guys, and we were able to patch the damage invisibly using our specialist tools and techniques. No need to replace the entire room’s carpet—just smart, targeted repair that made the carpet look like new.
