Carpet utility room flooring in Plumstead
Fitting Carpet in a Plumstead utility room isn't a like-for-like swap — it's a small room with a washing machine and dryer running most days, so we plan around vibration-tolerant finish under the washer. Most Plumstead homes we visit are victorian and edwardian terraces, and the subfloor beneath the old utility room floor is rarely ready to receive a new one straight away. Carpet to a utility room 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 utility room — common questions
Honest answer — it can be done, but it's not the default. For a utility room, we'd normally recommend lvt or karndean. If you want Carpet anyway, we'll explain the trade-offs before ordering.
A typical Plumstead utility room 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.
