Blackfen hallways — fitted with Carpet
The hallway in a 1930s bay-fronted semi sees more traffic than people think, and DA15 is no different. We fit Carpet across Blackfen every month — mostly in Almost entirely 1930s bay-fronted semis-era stock — and the job is 60% preparation. Once the subfloor is right, Carpet goes down cleanly and reads square to the room. Carpet works well in a hallway — we've fitted it in plenty of Blackfen homes.

Carpet in a Blackfen hallway — common questions
Yes — plenty of Blackfen homes have Carpet in the hallway. We'll survey first to make sure it suits your subfloor.
A typical Blackfen hallway is one working day for the install, plus a separate morning if subfloor screed is needed. We'll confirm at the site visit.
Sometimes yes, sometimes not — most Blackfen 1930s bay-fronted semis have either original floorboards or a solid screed underneath. We check moisture and level as part of the survey and quote any prep separately.
Both. We supply and fit as standard (best price, one warranty), but plenty of Blackfen customers ask us to fit Carpet they've bought themselves. We're happy to do that on a per-m² fitting-only rate.
