Stain-resistant carpet in Greenwich

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.
“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

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.
10 years on the ranges we fit most in SE10/SE3 — covers common household staining but not pet urine (that needs a specific pet-treated range).
Yes — modern solution-dyed nylon is barely distinguishable from a wool blend underfoot. The old "plastic" feel is 15 years out of date.
