Berber Carpet Fitting in Hither Green — common questions
A single claw can catch a loop. For Hither Green 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 (including the Corbett estate) plus small period conversions corbett estate victorian terraces flights across Hither Green.
Wool berbers hold shape and feel warmer; polypropylene berbers are stain-friendly and cheaper. Most SE13 customers pick wool for lounges, poly for hallways.
Far less than a saxony — that's the main reason people in Hither Green choose them for open-plan spaces where the light catches every line.
