Rolling back and relaying carpet?

[adamfernadam]

Hi there,

I need to roll back the carpet in my front room on 3 of the sides of the room to run some cables along the inside of the gripper strips.

Im worried that when i go to put it back it will be slack or not fit...do i need to borrow a knee kicker to stretch it onto the grippers again? Do i do one edge at a time or doesnt it matter? Or do i just pull it and then push it under the skirting boards?

Never had much to do with carpets and limited knowledge, so any advice appreciated!!

Thanks!

If it's just for speaker cable first try forcing it down the edge of the carpet without disturbing the fit on the grippers. You could save yourself a lot of aggro.
