Woolwich carpet — the details that matter
- Stair nosings
Older Woolwich stairs often have shallow treads — we re-cut grippers rather than force a standard kit.
- Doorway transitions
Most royal arsenal apartments 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 Woolwich bedrooms; 10mm PU on stairs to stop bounce.
"Brockway 80/20 on the stairs — five years in, still looks freshly fitted." — Royal Arsenal homeowner
Bottom line: pay for wool once, get 15 years. Pay for polyester twice.

Wool Carpet Fitting in Woolwich — common questions
For a low-traffic Woolwich 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 SE18 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 Woolwich families would rather avoid.
Measurably — the trapped air in wool fibres insulates. A Woolwich bedroom on wool over 10mm underlay is genuinely 2–3°C warmer underfoot than the same room on synthetic.
