Three things that decide a carpet fit in Blackheath
- Stair nosings
Older Blackheath stairs often have shallow treads — we re-cut grippers rather than force a standard kit.
- Doorway transitions
Most georgian terraces 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 Blackheath bedrooms; 10mm PU on stairs to stop bounce.
- Chunky loop pile that hides marks and footprints
- Extra-careful seaming — loops must not pull
- Suits hallways, landings and open-plan lounges
- Wool and polypropylene berbers both fitted

A single claw can catch a loop. For Blackheath 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.
