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.
In short — wool carpet in Thamesmead from £32/m² fitted, using British-mill ranges over 10mm PU underlay.

Wool Carpet Fitting in Thamesmead — common questions
Measurably — the trapped air in wool fibres insulates. A Thamesmead bedroom on wool over 10mm underlay is genuinely 2–3°C warmer underfoot than the same room on synthetic.
No — wool is naturally flame-resistant. Synthetic carpets need chemical treatment to meet the same standard, which some Thamesmead families would rather avoid.
Modern wool blends are moth-treated at the mill. In 20 years of SE28 fits we've had one moth issue — and that was a rug over the top, not the carpet.
For a low-traffic Thamesmead main bedroom, yes — softer, warmer, more expensive. For stairs and hallways, 80/20 is the smarter spec because the nylon adds abrasion resistance.
