What we check first on a Orpington carpet job
- Stair nosings
Older Orpington stairs often have shallow treads — we re-cut grippers rather than force a standard kit.
- Doorway transitions
Most 1930s semis 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 Orpington bedrooms; 10mm PU on stairs to stop bounce.
- Underlay, grippers, door bars and disposal in the quote
- Stairs priced per-tread + landing where appropriate
- Fit-only rates for carpet you've bought yourself
- No callout or minimum charge across the local area
Bottom line: no callout, no minimum, no surprise extras. Everything in the quote is fitted price.
