Why Rochester chooses us for carpet
Rochester is a historic cathedral city with a real mix of period and modern property; we work across Borstal, Wouldham, Cuxton and out towards Chatham on a regular cycle. Most HMO fits skimp on stair-runner underlay — and that's exactly where complaints and re-fits start. Rochester examples we've fitted on this year span Borstal and Wouldham; the spec brief is the same one.
Local property notes: carpet in Rochester (ME1)
Rochester's property mix — Georgian townhouses, Victorian terraces, riverside apartments and 1930s suburban semis — sets the carpet brief before we even quote. In Borstal we tend to lift onto bitumen-bedded chip; around Wouldham the subfloor is more often screed with the occasional access hatch to plan around. A historic cathedral city with a real mix of period and modern property, which is why carpet spec here is rarely one-size-fits-all.
Access-wise, Rochester works well for us: next to Chatham, off the A228 corridor, with our vans running past Corporation Street most weeks and Medway City Estate on the commercial rota. That matters for specified for your building type jobs — we can drop samples, run a re-measure, or bring an extra length of carpet the same day.
HMOs in Rochester — particularly around Corporation Street and Borstal — have a repeatable set of carpet constraints: threshold heights, DDA-relevant transitions, and product warranty in high-traffic zones. That's how we spec it, without trial and error.
Rochester's subfloor mix — Georgian townhouses and Victorian terraces on the older streets, screed on the newer ones — means our carpet spec adapts room by room. We survey with a moisture meter, note edge conditions in Borstal, and photograph anything unusual so nobody's surprised on fit day.
Booking a carpet fit in Rochester is usually a two-window conversation — a survey slot that suits the property, and a fit slot that respects the street. In Borstal we tend to hold morning fits; in Wouldham afternoons run cleaner because of school-run traffic.
We treat Rochester as a whole, not a postcode band — Borstal, Wouldham, Cuxton and the villages towards Aylesford all get the same survey standard, the same fitters, and the same aftercare number to call.

Carpet questions from Rochester customers
Why supply and fit from the same team?
One phone number, one invoice, one warranty. If anything ever needs attention, you don't have to chase a separate retailer and fitter — it's us either way.
What underlay do you recommend?
For most Rochester homes we suggest 10-11mm PU underlay — it adds warmth, lifts the pile and dramatically extends carpet life. Stairs get a denser 8mm crumb underlay for safety.
Wool or synthetic — which is better?
Wool feels softer, holds its appearance longer and is naturally fire-retardant. Synthetic twists are easier to clean and more budget-friendly — we'll bring both to your Borstal or local survey so you can compare in your own light.
Do you fit carpet on stairs and landings as a single run?
Yes — we cut the carpet to wrap stairs and landing in one continuous piece wherever practical, which removes seam wear and gives a cleaner finish.
How long does a typical carpet fit take?
A 3-bed house is usually a full day for lift, prep and fit. Single rooms are typically a half day.
