Floors & Fix fits carpet throughout Richmond's TW9 and TW10 postcodes, including Kew, East Sheen, Petersham and Ham. Richmond's Victorian and Edwardian housing stock has suspended timber ground floors in excellent condition — we ply-raft as standard before carpet. Premium wool and wool-blend carpets are popular in this area and well-suited to the room proportions.
Richmond has one of the most premium housing stocks in south-west London — Victorian and Edwardian semis and terraces in TW9 and Kew, large Edwardian detached homes on Richmond Hill and Petersham Road, 1930s suburban semis in East Sheen and North Sheen, and modern riverside apartment developments with underfloor heating. Low moisture risk and high budgets make Richmond a strong market for engineered wood and premium LVT.
58% of Richmond's housing stock predates 1960, with a significant concentration of Victorian and Edwardian suspended-timber ground floors in TW9 and TW10 that represent ideal conditions for premium floor installation. — ONS Census 2021, housing stock age, London Borough of Richmond upon Thames
Richmond's Victorian terraces and semis in TW9 and around Kew Green have suspended timber ground floors in generally excellent condition — lower moisture risk than many south-west London postcodes. We apply 6mm structural ply before carpet as standard to eliminate any residual flex. The larger Edwardian detached homes on Richmond Hill and Petersham Road suit a premium 80/20 or pure wool carpet with a deeper pile that complements the scale of the rooms. East Sheen and North Sheen's 1930s semis have mixed ground floors assessed at the visit. Richmond Riverside new builds with wet UFH require a low-tog bonded-foam or rubber-backed underlay within the heating system's thermal resistance specification.
Victorian and Edwardian terraces and semis in TW9 and around Kew Green have suspended timber ground floors in generally excellent condition — low moisture risk and good-quality original construction. These are ideal settings for premium engineered oak and high-quality LVT that suits the character of the area.
Kew and TW9 terraces were well built and their timber floors have mostly stayed dry and true — which makes them quick to prepare and rewarding to carpet. We still raft with 9mm structural ply so the pile never creases over a joist line, then fit breathable felt underlay at ground level. A premium wool twist suits these rooms and the fixed price covers the lot.
Large Edwardian detached and semi-detached homes on Richmond Hill, Petersham Road and the premium TW10 streets have suspended timber ground floors with generous room proportions. The scale of these spaces demands wider-board floor products — 180–220mm engineered oak or large-format LVT — to look proportionate.
The drawing rooms on Richmond Hill and Petersham Road run to sizes most carpets never see, and a deep-pile wool in a 40oz weight or better is what the scale asks for. Beneath it, the original Edwardian timber is ply-rafted to take out a century of settling. Samples come to the house so colours are judged against your own light and furniture.
Modern riverside apartments along Richmond Riverside and newer TW9 developments have liquid-screed floors with wet underfloor heating. These require UFH-rated product selection and glue-down or approved click-lock installation confirmed against the system specification.
Riverside apartments along the TW9 waterfront heat through the floor, so the underlay carries the specification: low-tog, with carpet-plus-underlay thermal resistance held at or below 0.15 m²K/W. The numbers are confirmed in writing on the quote so the building's heating system keeps doing its job.
1930s semis and detached homes in East Sheen (SW14) and North Sheen (TW9) have mixed ground floors — some suspended timber, some solid concrete — with generally low moisture readings. The market in this area leans towards premium finishes for renovation and resale.
East Sheen and North Sheen's 1930s homes mix timber and concrete at ground level, so the free home visit settles the method room by room — ply raft here, 11mm PU foam straight onto dry slab there. One written price covers every room, every preparation, and the door trimming at the end.
Floors & Fix Fitting Team did an excellent job from start to finish. The team was professional, punctual, and paid great attention to detail throughout the installation. The flooring was fitted to a very high standard, and the finished result has completely transformed the space. They kept everything tidy, communicated clearly, and made sure every aspect of the job was completed perfectly.

We apply 6mm structural ply over the existing timber boards to create a flat, joist-spanning base. This is included in the fixed price and makes a noticeable difference to how solid the floor feels underfoot.
Yes. The underlay is the critical part — we specify low-tog products so the system stays within its 0.15 m²K/W thermal resistance limit, and confirm UFH compatibility in writing for your Richmond installation.
