Carpet kitchen flooring in Thamesmead
Fitting Carpet in a Thamesmead kitchen isn't a like-for-like swap — it's a busy, splash-prone workspace, so we plan around matching an existing kickboard line. Most Thamesmead homes we visit are 1970s peabody estates, 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 70s screed is often uneven — self-levelling latex is almost always needed for LVT.

Carpet in a Thamesmead 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 Thamesmead 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 Thamesmead 1970s peabody estates 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 Thamesmead customers ask us to fit Carpet they've bought themselves. We're happy to do that on a per-m² fitting-only rate.
