Kidbrooke carpet — the details that matter
- Kidbrooke subfloor reality
New-build screed is LVT-ready; 1930s semis need ply over the pine boards.
- Underlay choice
8mm crumb is the usual call for Kidbrooke bedrooms; 10mm PU on stairs to stop bounce.
- Doorway transitions
Most berkeley homes new-builds doorways here need a bevelled bar rather than a Z-bar to clear the carpet next door.
- 80/20 blends for durability and warmth
- Natural flame resistance — no chemical treatment
- Feels warmer than synthetic underfoot
- Cormar, Ulster and Brockway ranges regularly fitted
Bottom line: pay for wool once, get 15 years. Pay for polyester twice.

Wool Carpet Fitting in Kidbrooke — common questions
For a low-traffic Kidbrooke 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 SE3 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 Kidbrooke families would rather avoid.
Measurably — the trapped air in wool fibres insulates. A Kidbrooke bedroom on wool over 10mm underlay is genuinely 2–3°C warmer underfoot than the same room on synthetic.
