Berber Carpet Fitting in Plumstead — common questions
A single claw can catch a loop. For Plumstead 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 and Edwardian terraces with post-war infill victorian and edwardian terraces flights across Plumstead.
