Sidcup utility rooms — fitted with Carpet
The utility room in a 1930s bay-fronted semi sees more traffic than people think, and DA14/DA15 is no different. We fit Carpet across Sidcup every month — mostly in Mostly 1930s, with newer flats around the station-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 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.

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