Retail Fitters Cancelling in Eltham
Eltham Park and Mottingham have plenty of 1930s semis with suspended timber subfloors, and it's a common scenario: a subcontracted fitter is booked in, notices draughts coming through the floor void, and either cancels or fits over the problem without fixing it.
We're an independent, fitting-only business that steps in for exactly this. Once you own the flooring, we fit it from £9.00 per square metre, with most rescue jobs completed within 1 to 3 days.
Why Eltham Homeowners Choose Our Rescue Service
1930s subfloors near Horn Park and New Eltham often let draughts through gaps between original floorboards. We seal and draught-proof the subfloor with a proper underlay before fitting carpet, which makes a real difference to how the room feels in winter.
We also supply grippers and threshold strips at trade rates, so you're not paying retail markups for accessories your original fitter should have included.
