What flat & apartment flooring in Barnehurst actually involves

1930s pine floorboards throughout — always ply-overlaid before LVT or vinyl.
Barnehurst carpet — the details that matter
- Stair nosings
Older Barnehurst stairs often have shallow treads — we re-cut grippers rather than force a standard kit.
- Doorway transitions
Most 1930s bay-fronted 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 Barnehurst bedrooms; 10mm PU on stairs to stop bounce.
- Acoustic underlay to meet leasehold sound-transfer rules
- Concierge-friendly access — we book delivery windows
- LVT with acoustic backing where allowed by the lease
- Whole-flat carpet turnarounds in under a day
In short — flat flooring in Barnehurst with acoustic underlay from £20/m² fitted, meeting leasehold rules.

The quality of the carpets is excellent and the price for the work very reasonable. He gets on with the job, very professional, work of the highest standard. Top class.” — Gary Simmons, verified Google review
