Local detail

Three things that decide a carpet fit in Blackheath

Stair nosings

Older Blackheath stairs often have shallow treads — we re-cut grippers rather than force a standard kit.

Doorway transitions

Most georgian terraces doorways here need a bevelled bar rather than a Z-bar to clear the carpet next door.

Underlay choice

8mm crumb is the usual call for Blackheath bedrooms; 10mm PU on stairs to stop bounce.
