Berber Carpet Fitting in Gravesend — common questions
A single claw can catch a loop. For Gravesend 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.
Yes, but only tight loops — chunky loops can catch a heel on the nosing. We regularly do it on Victorian terraces near town, Ebbsfleet new-builds, larger detached homes out to Cobham victorian terraces flights across Gravesend.
