Carpet kitchen flooring in Plumstead
Fitting Carpet in a Plumstead kitchen isn't a like-for-like swap — it's a busy, splash-prone workspace, so we plan around waterproofing at the sink and dishwasher. Most Plumstead homes we visit are victorian and edwardian terraces, and the subfloor beneath the old kitchen floor is rarely ready to receive a new one straight away. 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 on the terraces — ply overlay before LVT is standard.

Carpet in a Plumstead 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 Plumstead 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 Plumstead victorian and edwardian terraces 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 Plumstead customers ask us to fit Carpet they've bought themselves. We're happy to do that on a per-m² fitting-only rate.
