“Jordan put in carpets for our 2 bedrooms, landing and stairs in our new loft conversion and in 2 existing bedrooms. 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

Woolwich carpet — the details that matter
- Stair nosings
Older Woolwich stairs often have shallow treads — we re-cut grippers rather than force a standard kit.
- Doorway transitions
Most royal arsenal apartments 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 Woolwich bedrooms; 10mm PU on stairs to stop bounce.
Bottom line: Woolwich flats need the right underlay, not just the right carpet — we spec both.
