Berber Carpet Fitting in Crayford — common questions
Far less than a saxony — that's the main reason people in Crayford 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 DA1 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 1930s semis, terraces off Crayford Road, plus converted industrial flats 1930s semis flights across Crayford.
