Woolwich kitchens — fitted with Carpet
The kitchen in a royal arsenal apartment sees more traffic than people think, and SE18 is no different. We fit Carpet across Woolwich every month — mostly in Royal Arsenal riverside conversions plus Victorian and post-war terraces-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.

Arsenal conversions have thick concrete slabs — dead-flat and ideal for glue-down LVT.
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.

"Honest advice — they told us laminate wasn't right for our kitchen before we ordered. Went with Carpet instead and it's perfect." — Woolwich homeowner

Carpet in a Woolwich 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 Woolwich 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 Woolwich royal arsenal apartments 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 Woolwich customers ask us to fit Carpet they've bought themselves. We're happy to do that on a per-m² fitting-only rate.
