You get a fixed price in writing, an insured fitter and a tidy finish.
Overview
Booked mostly by social-housing-led households around Charlton, carpet fitting here covers supply-free fitting from £120. With 48% of Charlton's 5,904 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in SE7 shape the slot length we hold.
How it works
Step 1
Room measured with the pile direction planned so seams fall away from the window and the main sight line.
Step 2
Old floor lifted, boards screwed down where they creak, and any damp or rot flagged before we go further.
Step 3
Gripper pinned or glued at the correct gap from the skirting, underlay laid staggered and taped.
Step 4
Carpet rough-cut, kicked and stretched properly so it will not ripple in six months, then trimmed in.
Step 5
Doorbars fitted, doors trimmed if needed, off-cuts and old carpet taken away.
Why choose us
One fitter for a room or a straight flight; two for large open-plan floors, winder staircases and anything carried up above the third floor without a lift. Match-day restrictions at the Valley, steep village hill and riverside estate roads.
Most bookings are within a week, and we hold slots that match carpet delivery days so nothing sits rolled up in a hallway. Charlton (Southeastern) is the nearest station, so a SE7 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in SE7, often with surface conduit — where 41% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year in SE7, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it on these streets — with 38% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first.
Fitters carry £5m public liability cover, and old carpet leaves under our upper-tier waste carrier registration with a transfer note emailed the same day.
Fixed prices
| Job | From | Typical time | What sets the price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Single room up to 12m² | £120 | 1.5–2.5 hrs | Gripper, underlay, one seam at most, and a doorbar at each threshold. |
| Room 12–20m² | £180 | 2–3 hrs | A wider room usually needs a seam, and a seam is where a bad fit shows first. |
| Straight staircase, 13 treads | £220 | 3–4 hrs | Each tread and riser is cut and kicked individually; winders on a London turn cost more again. |
| Landing and stairs together | £320 | 4–6 hrs | Priced as one job because the landing carpet has to run into the top tread invisibly. |
| Lifting and disposing of old carpet, per room | £45 | 20–40 min | Old carpet and underlay go to a licensed transfer station with a waste transfer note. |
| Door trimming, per door | £25 | 15–25 min | A new underlay adds height; the door is taken off, planed and rehung so it clears. |

Scope
Sulltan is the best handyman in London. He is very reliable and professional. I highly recommend.
We did an end of tenancy cleaning service with Hello cleaners last month at Camden. The team was very professional right from booking to completion. Dhaval and team did an excellent job, and the cleaning quality especially of carpets and wooden flooring was of a very high standard. Highly recommended!
