Loft conversion flooring in Thamesmead
Southmere loft conversions almost always have awkward dwarf walls, roof pitches and cut-in eaves storage. That's a fitting job, not a carpet job — templating each cut is what separates good loft fits from bad ones.
What loft conversion flooring in Thamesmead actually involves
Southmere loft conversions almost always have awkward dwarf walls, roof pitches and cut-in eaves storage. That's a fitting job, not a carpet job — templating each cut is what separates good loft fits from bad ones.
Original 70s screed is often uneven — self-levelling latex is almost always needed for LVT.
Three things that decide a carpet fit in Thamesmead
- Stair nosings
Older Thamesmead stairs often have shallow treads — we re-cut grippers rather than force a standard kit.
- Doorway transitions
Most 1970s peabody estates 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 Thamesmead bedrooms; 10mm PU on stairs to stop bounce.
- Carpet, LVT and engineered wood all fitted in loft conversions
- Acoustic underlay to protect the floor below
- Stair carpet template extended into the loft
- Awkward angles, dwarf walls and roof pitches handled
Bottom line: loft flooring is angle work — templated properly, it's a one-day fit.
