- Underlay choice
8mm crumb is the usual call for Bickley bedrooms; 10mm PU on stairs to stop bounce.
- Doorway transitions
Most large victorian and edwardian detached doorways here need a bevelled bar rather than a Z-bar to clear the carpet next door.
- 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
