Barnehurst utility rooms — fitted with Wool carpet
The utility room in a 1930s bay-fronted semi sees more traffic than people think, and DA7 is no different. We fit Wool carpet across Barnehurst every month — mostly in Almost entirely 1930s bay-fronted semis-era stock — and the job is 60% preparation. Once the subfloor is right, Wool carpet goes down cleanly and reads square to the room. Wool 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.

Wool carpet in a Barnehurst 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 Wool carpet anyway, we'll explain the trade-offs before ordering.

Sometimes yes, sometimes not — most Barnehurst 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 Barnehurst customers ask us to fit Wool carpet they've bought themselves. We're happy to do that on a per-m² fitting-only rate.
