Before we quote a carpet job in Bexley
- Stair nosings
Older Bexley stairs often have shallow treads — we re-cut grippers rather than force a standard kit.
- Doorway transitions
Most victorian cottages doorways here need a bevelled bar rather than a Z-bar to clear the carpet next door.
- Underlay choice
8mm crumb is the usual call for Bexley bedrooms; 10mm PU on stairs to stop bounce.

Berber Carpet Fitting in Bexley — common questions
Far less than a saxony — that's the main reason people in Bexley choose them for open-plan spaces where the light catches every line.
Wool berbers hold shape and feel warmer; polypropylene berbers are stain-friendly and cheaper. Most DA5 customers pick wool for lounges, poly for hallways.
Yes, but only tight loops — chunky loops can catch a heel on the nosing. We regularly do it on Victorian cottages near the village, 1930s detached and newer estates toward Old Bexley victorian cottages flights across Bexley.
A single claw can catch a loop. For Bexley homes with cats or puppies we usually fit a tight-loop or level-loop berber rather than a chunky one — same look, harder to snag.
