Ask your QuestionDo grippers need to be replaced when fitting new carpet?
Asked by Laura on 5th Mar 2020"No, as long as they're firm and in the correct position."
Answered on 5th Mar 2020 - Member since Jan 2020 - report"No as long as the gripper are still spikey. It’ll do the same job as it did before you replaced the old carpet."
