Local housing stock

Merton homes — what to expect.

Merton encompasses Wimbledon Park, Colliers Wood, Mitcham, Morden and Raynes Park — a varied mix of Edwardian semis and Victorian terraces in the northern parts, 1930s–50s semis throughout Mitcham and Morden, and some post-war estate housing. Suspended timber is the dominant ground-floor type in the Edwardian stock; solid concrete or early screed in the 1930s–50s semis. Raynes Park and Wimbledon Park suit premium floor specifications.

61% of Merton's housing stock was built before 1965, with a mix of Edwardian suspended timber and 1930s–50s concrete ground floors across the borough's varied housing neighbourhoods. ONS Census 2021, dwelling age data, London Borough of Merton

Merton's Edwardian semis in Wimbledon Park and Raynes Park have suspended timber ground floors requiring 6mm structural ply before carpet — without ply, pile creases at joist spans. Victorian terraces in Colliers Wood and Mitcham have the same requirement. The 1930s semis in Morden and South Mitcham have concrete ground floors — we test moisture at the visit and include a DPM where readings are elevated. An 80/20 wool-blend twist pile handles family traffic well across all Merton property types.

Housing types we fit in Merton

Carpet Fitting across every property type.

01

Edwardian Semi.

The Edwardian semis in Wimbledon Park and Raynes Park — on roads like Revelstoke Road, Lake Road and Approach Road — have suspended timber ground floors consistent with Edwardian London construction. These well-proportioned family semis suit a range of floor finishes once the subfloor has been ply-rafted.

The Edwardian semis in Wimbledon Park and Raynes Park — Revelstoke Road, Lake Road and Approach Road — have suspended timber ground floors, and without a ply raft the pile creases at every joist span. We screw 9mm structural ply down first, then fit gripper rods, a quality underlay and carpet. An 80/20 wool-blend twist handles family traffic well, all in the fixed price.

02

Victorian Terrace.

Victorian terraces in Colliers Wood and Mitcham — particularly around Merton High Street and the roads running down towards Morden — have suspended timber ground floors on joists. Many have had extensions to the rear; the original ground-floor construction remains suspended timber throughout the pre-extension part of the property.

The Victorian terraces in Colliers Wood and Mitcham, around Merton High Street, sit on suspended timber on joists, often extended to the rear. We ply-raft the original ground floor, assess any concrete extension for moisture, and run one carpet across the whole floor — one visit, one fixed quote.

03

1930s–50s Semi-Detached.

The 1930s semis filling Morden, South Mitcham and the outer reaches of the borough along the Northern Line extension corridor have solid-concrete ground floors. Moisture readings are variable — we test at every home visit and include a DPM membrane in the fixed price where readings are elevated.

The 1930s–50s semis filling Morden and South Mitcham along the Northern Line corridor sit on solid concrete with variable moisture. We test at the home visit and include a DPM membrane before the underlay where readings are elevated, so the carpet stays fresh — the protection inside the fixed price.

04

Modern Development.

Modern residential development on the Wimbledon fringe and around Colliers Wood tube station has introduced screed and wet underfloor heating into the Merton housing mix. Product compatibility for any flooring specified on these systems is confirmed in writing before installation.

Modern development on the Wimbledon fringe and around Colliers Wood tube runs screed with wet underfloor heating. Carpet works over UFH with a low-tog bonded or rubber-backed underlay keeping total thermal resistance at or below 0.15 m²K/W, confirmed in writing against the system.
