New Eltham kitchens — fitted with Carpet
The kitchen in a 1930s bay-fronted semi sees more traffic than people think, and SE9 is no different. We fit Carpet across New Eltham every month — mostly in 1930s bay-fronted semis with a scattering of post-war infill-era stock — and the job is 60% preparation. Once the subfloor is right, Carpet goes down cleanly and reads square to the room. Carpet to a kitchen is a specialist install — done carefully it looks brilliant, but it's not the default choice, and we'll be honest about that on the site visit.

Original pine boards over joists — same story as neighbouring Sidcup, so ply overlay before LVT is the norm.
Carpet — twist, loop or plush pile in wool blends and stain-resist polypropylenes. Best suited to bedrooms, living rooms, stairs and landings. Warranty: 5–10 year manufacturer warranty depending on range.
- Old carpet uplifted and disposed of the same day
- Grippers re-pinned around fireplaces and bay windows

Carpet in a New Eltham kitchen — common questions
Honest answer — it can be done, but it's not the default. For a kitchen, we'd normally recommend lvt or karndean. If you want Carpet anyway, we'll explain the trade-offs before ordering.
A typical New Eltham kitchen 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 New Eltham 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 New Eltham customers ask us to fit Carpet they've bought themselves. We're happy to do that on a per-m² fitting-only rate.
