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.
