What we check first on a Greenwich carpet job
- Greenwich subfloor reality
Period properties have suspended timber and lath ceilings below — no aggressive sanding.
- Underlay choice
8mm crumb is the usual call for Greenwich bedrooms; 10mm PU on stairs to stop bounce.
- Doorway transitions
Most georgian and victorian period homes doorways here need a bevelled bar rather than a Z-bar to clear the carpet next door.
- Solution-dyed nylon and polypropylene — colour goes all the way through
- Bleach-cleanable ranges for red wine, coffee and worse
- Loop pile options for high-traffic hallways
- 10-year stain warranty on selected ranges
Bottom line: pay a little more once, don't replace the carpet in three years.

Stain-Resistant Carpet in Greenwich — common questions
On solution-dyed ranges, yes — 1:10 household bleach and water is the manufacturer's recommendation for stubborn stains. Colour survives because it's built into the fibre, not printed on top.
Wool resists dirt but holds dye — red wine and coffee will stain permanently. For a Greenwich family home we usually steer wool to bedrooms and put solution-dyed nylon in the living areas.
