Overview
Carpet fitting in Greenwich SE10, explained
Carpet fitting in Greenwich SE10 is a fixed-price visit for mixed-tenure homes in Greenwich, most of them Georgian and early Victorian. 17,397 households sit inside this SE10 patch, 73% of them flats, so we quote on access near The Royal Observatory and the Cutty Sark rather than a London average.
How it works
How carpet fitting works in Greenwich
Five steps, the same on every SE10 job, so you know what happens before you commit. New-build and conversion flats lined with dot-and-dab plasterboard on these streets — measured on the walk in from Cutty Sark (DLR) rather than assumed from a map is what we plan for here.
Step 1
Measure and plan the seams
Room measured with the pile direction planned so seams fall away from the window and the main sight line.
Step 2
Uplift and check the subfloor
Old floor lifted, boards screwed down where they creak, and any damp or rot flagged before we go further.
Step 3
Gripper and underlay
Gripper pinned or glued at the correct gap from the skirting, underlay laid staggered and taped.
Step 4
Fit and stretch
Carpet rough-cut, kicked and stretched properly so it will not ripple in six months, then trimmed in.
Step 5
Bars, doors and clear-up
Doorbars fitted, doors trimmed if needed, off-cuts and old carpet taken away.
Why choose us
Why Greenwich customers book us
Local knowledge is not a slogan on this page — it is what stops a bracket coming out of a Greenwich wall.
Crew sized to the job
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. Cobbled one-way lanes, market-day closures and listed frontages with no rear access.
Booked around your day
Most bookings are within a week, and we hold slots that match carpet delivery days so nothing sits rolled up in a hallway. Cutty Sark (DLR) is the nearest station, so a SE10 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Greenwich walls, not generic walls
We expect with metal stud partitions between rooms, over dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork, with 29% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first in SE10, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Greenwich gives us short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, a median age of 33 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here.
Fixed prices
Carpet fitting prices in Greenwich
Fixed prices for SE10 and the rest of Greenwich. Floor area, stair count and access set the price. Winders, bay windows and awkward thresholds all add cutting time, and an unlevel subfloor adds preparation before fitting starts.
| 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
What's included in Greenwich
The same scope across SE10, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- Standard on Greenwich bookings: subfloor check for loose boards, nails and damp before anything is laid, with 17,397 households in this neighbourhood, it is the question we are asked most
- New gripper, underlay laid and taped, and carpet stretched with a knee kicker, checked on every SE10 visit
- In Greenwich: doorbars fitted at every threshold and edges trimmed cleanly to the skirting, sized for the cobbled one-way lanes, market-day closures and listed frontages with no rear access
- On SE10 jobs: old carpet rolled, removed and disposed of under our waste carrier licence, local carpet fitting included
Not included
- Levelling screeds or replacing rotten floorboards, which are quoted after the uplift, handled by Royal Borough of Greenwich or a specialist contractor instead
- Damp-proofing solid floors: carpet over a damp slab will smell within a season, which we refer on to the right trade in Greenwich
- Lifting flooring that may contain asbestos backing, which needs a licensed contractor, outside the fixed price on Greenwich bookings

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!

Greenwich SE10 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Greenwich — the numbers that actually change a carpet fitting quote.
17,397 households sit inside the SE10 neighbourhood covering Greenwich. The build is Georgian and early Victorian, the tenure profile mixed-tenure, and 73% of those homes are flats.
Because 31% of Greenwich is privately rented and 29% socially rented, a lot of SE10 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Greenwich substrates run to with metal stud partitions between rooms, over dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork, with 29% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because Greenwich gives us short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, a median age of 33 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here is the mistake that costs a SE10 customer twice.
World Heritage centre of the market, the Cutty Sark and the Observatory on the hill. That character decides the practical detail of carpet fitting here far more than the borough boundary does. Greenwich is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Cobbled one-way lanes, market-day closures and listed frontages with no rear access. Nearest station is Cutty Sark (DLR), and 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.

Common questions
Carpet fitting in Greenwich SE10 — your questions.
How much does carpet fitting cost in Greenwich SE10?
Single room up to 12m² starts at £120 in Greenwich for Greenwich (SE10) addresses, with this being Royal Borough of Greenwich territory, and every job is quoted as a fixed written price before a fitter is booked. Floor area, stair count and access set the price on the streets near The Royal Observatory and the Cutty Sark. Winders, bay windows and awkward thresholds all add cutting time across SE10, with 17,397 households on this patch, and an unlevel subfloor adds preparation before fitting starts.
Do you carpet stairs in Greenwich SE10?
Yes, and it is our most-booked job in Greenwich in this 73% flats neighbourhood. A straight 13-tread flight is £220 over three to four hours; period houses here often have winders, cut tread by tread and priced on survey on this side of Greenwich, with The Royal Observatory and the Cutty Sark a few streets away.
Can you take the old carpet away in SE10?
Yes — £45 a room, taken under our waste carrier licence with a same-day transfer note on the Greenwich rounds, with 27% of Greenwich homes being houses. Rolls left in a communal area trigger a Royal Borough of Greenwich clearance charge to the leaseholder on SE10 jobs, with The Royal Observatory and the Cutty Sark a few streets away.
Is carpet allowed in my Greenwich flat?
Usually the opposite — with 73% of homes here being flats, many leases require carpet and underlay for sound insulation on Greenwich bookings, with 29% social-rented stock nearby. We fit to that standard and note the underlay spec on the invoice in this 73% flats neighbourhood.
Do you handle difficult access in Greenwich?
Cobbled one-way lanes, market-day closures and listed frontages with no rear access on the Greenwich rounds. Where a permit or a suspended bay is needed in Royal Borough of Greenwich it is itemised on the quote before the visit, never added afterwards on SE10 jobs — and 27% of Greenwich homes being houses, with this being a short walk from Cutty Sark (DLR).
Are your fitters insured for work in SE10?
Fitters carry £5m public liability cover, with a median age of 33 in this neighbourhood, and old carpet leaves under our upper-tier waste carrier registration with a transfer note emailed the same day on this side of Greenwich. That paperwork is what most Greenwich letting agents and managing agents ask for before work starts in a leasehold flat across SE10, with this being Royal Borough of Greenwich territory.
What is not included in carpet fitting in Greenwich?
Levelling screeds or replacing rotten floorboards, which are quoted after the uplift; Damp-proofing solid floors: carpet over a damp slab will smell within a season; Lifting flooring that may contain asbestos backing for Greenwich (SE10) addresses — and Greenwich parking rules in play, with 17,397 households on this patch, which needs a licensed contractor. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the Greenwich SE10 price you agree is the price you pay on the streets near The Royal Observatory and the Cutty Sark, with 32% one-person households here.
