What the ground changes
Rug restoration in Wavre
We repair from the structure outwards: warp and weft, then pile, then colour.
Collection
The A4 / E411 motorway (the autoroute des Ardennes) reached Wavre in 1969; the town is 28 km by road from the centre of Brussels, about 31 minutes.
We take the rug away to the workshop: restoration is not done in your home. Access therefore governs the date, not the quote.
The local setting
Walibi Belgium, opened on 26 July 1975 on 64 hectares in Wavre, together with the covered water park Aqualibi, received around 1.45 million visitors in 2018. The Dyle runs through the town, partly culverted beneath the centre.
That context explains a good part of what we see arriving at the workshop from this town.
Who lives here
Average income per resident: €22,889 (2021 tax year), below the Walloon Brabant average (€23,442) but well above the Walloon average (€19,192). The population breaks down into 19% under 18, 58.39% aged 18-64 and 22.61% aged 65 and over. Median price of a house in 2024: €395,000, up 8.2%.
Those are the households that keep a rug for thirty years and bring it to us when the weft begins to speak.
A hand-knotted rug rests on three things. The warp: the threads held taut lengthwise, from one end of the loom to the other. The weft: the threads passed across after each row of knots. Together they form the foundation. The pile — what the hand touches — is only the visible part of the knots tied onto that foundation.
The order of the repairs follows from this architecture. Re-knotting pile over a broken weft is like laying tiles on a floor that moves: the area will open up again. So we rebuild the warp and the weft first, we re-knot the pile next, and we touch the colour only last, once the relief has come back up to height.
Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions
Does the rug have to be washed before it is restored?
Almost always. The mineral dust shut in at the base of the pile cuts the fibres with every step and throws off the colour matching. Hand washing therefore comes before restoration — except where an area is at risk of tearing when handled: that one is made safe first.
How do I obtain a valuation?
From photographs, to be sent by e-mail or by message: the whole rug laid flat, the back, and a close-up of each damaged area with a coin or a tape measure for scale. We reply with a costing within 48 working hours.
Do you also work on office fitted carpets in the Wavre business parks?
Yes. The Wavre North business park alone brings together 349 companies and more than 13,400 jobs on 186 hectares, with the South business park on top of that: it is the leading office hub in Walloon Brabant. We work in the evening or at weekends so as not to interrupt business, with techniques suited to carpet tiles, stairwells and traffic areas. Direct access via the E411 allows us to cover several floors in the same day.
