Carpet fitters in Enfield

What kinds of homes are in Enfield?

Enfield runs from the edge of the Green Belt in the west to the Lea Valley in the east, and its housing changes with it. Enfield Town and Bush Hill Park have Victorian and Edwardian houses on tree-lined roads, while much of the rest of the borough is made up of interwar semis and terraces built as London spread outwards. Ponders End, Enfield Highway and Enfield Lock mix older terraces, post-war estates, flats and newer developments, and the east of the borough has large industrial and trading estates.

I'm a landlord. What flooring makes sense in a let?

Many homes in Enfield are rented, and the floors in a let take more wear than most. Some things to think about:

• Hard-wearing carpet in a plain, mid-tone colour hides wear and suits most tenants.
• Vinyl or LVT in kitchens, bathrooms and hallways copes with water and dirt and is easy to clean between tenancies.
• If the property is a flat, check the lease before swapping carpet for a hard floor, as many leases restrict it.
• Planning flooring for a void period means the fitter can work in an empty property, which is usually quicker.

If you have more than one property, say how many and where they are, so the fitter can see whether they can be done together.

What about Edwardian and interwar houses?

Edwardian houses often have long hallways, original boards and stairs that turn at a half landing. Some owners keep or restore original floors in the hall and want carpet elsewhere, so it is worth explaining what you want to keep.

Interwar semis usually have suspended timber floors downstairs too. If the kitchen or a rear extension has been rebuilt, it may now have a concrete floor, which can be a step up or down from the next room. Where two floor types meet, a threshold strip or some levelling is needed, and LVT or laminate running through both rooms may need careful planning.

Do you have a unit or office in Enfield?

Industrial and trading estates in the east of the borough have offices, showrooms and trade counters as well as warehouses. Offices above a unit usually suit carpet tiles, which are easy to replace if one is damaged or stained. Kitchens, toilets and welfare areas usually need a safety or commercial vinyl. Give the rough floor area and say if the space can be cleared for the fitter.
