Erith carpet — the details that matter

Riverside flats sometimes flag damp — we use a meter before guaranteeing any glue-down vinyl.

8mm crumb is the usual call for Erith bedrooms; 10mm PU on stairs to stop bounce.

Most victorian and post-war terraces doorways here need a bevelled bar rather than a Z-bar to clear the carpet next door.

Wool Carpet Fitting in Erith — common questions
For a low-traffic Erith main bedroom, yes — softer, warmer, more expensive. For stairs and hallways, 80/20 is the smarter spec because the nylon adds abrasion resistance.
Modern wool blends are moth-treated at the mill. In 20 years of DA8 fits we've had one moth issue — and that was a rug over the top, not the carpet.
No — wool is naturally flame-resistant. Synthetic carpets need chemical treatment to meet the same standard, which some Erith families would rather avoid.
Measurably — the trapped air in wool fibres insulates. A Erith bedroom on wool over 10mm underlay is genuinely 2–3°C warmer underfoot than the same room on synthetic.
