Flooring & Carpet Fitting in Eltham – Supply & Fit or Fit-Only
You're paying for the craftsman, not a showroom's rent or a chain's subcontractor. The person who quotes your job is the person who fits it.
1930s Subfloors & Underlay Draught Proofing in Eltham Homes
Eltham features classic suburban South London residential housing — encompassing 1930s semi-detached family homes and chalet bungalows around Eltham Park and Mottingham near historic Eltham Palace alongside modern residential developments in New Eltham.
In 1930s properties across SE9, suspended softwood floorboards have shifted and warped over decades. Overlaying boards with flooring-grade structural plywood (BS 8203:2017 Annex A compliant), screwed down every 100mm, eliminates floorboard squeaks and provides a rigid, flat surface for Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT).
For carpets, we install 10mm Cloud Nine PU underlays, eliminating ground-floor draughts before power-stretching carpets to BS 5442 standards.
