How did they bind the edges? I've got to buy a lot of carpet in the next week or so and if I can use some of the offcuts for the two runners I need them that might save me a few bob.

I'm not sure to be honest, I wasn't here for any of it - I just came home from work and had the hoover shoved in my hand.
But the fitters were not very good at anything apart from the runners looking good - so maybe that was done in-store.
Gandhi carpets on East Ham High St North by the way - I'd definitely rate their prices and advice, but use a different fitter.
I get a Tapi Carpets discount through work (I work for Lord Harris of Carpetright) and it was still more than double what Gandhi quoted.

There's a machine that can do it, someone in north London did it for a uni project of mine but that was about 20 years ago so doubt they're still in business! Just to confirm it is a thing, basically overlocks the edge with thread.

Carpet fitters probably could - not the ones who let you down though I guess.
We had carpets fitted on two floors and then turned into a runner on the stairs, and they just bound the edges similar to what you'd have on a rug.
