Floors & Fix fits carpet across Streatham and SW16 — Streatham Hill, Streatham Common and Streatham Park. We bring a full sample range to your home, measure every room and give you a fixed price on the day. Uplift, underlay and door trimming are all included. We fit in houses and conversion flats.
Streatham stretches along the Streatham High Road corridor through SW16, encompassing Streatham Common, Streatham Hill and Streatham Park. Victorian terraces and Edwardian semis dominate, with many houses divided into conversion flats. Some larger Edwardian properties near Streatham Common have remained as single dwellings. Post-war infill housing adds some solid-concrete ground-floor properties to the mix. A gentrification wave in recent years has driven significant renovation activity.
77% of Streatham's housing stock was built before 1940, with Victorian and Edwardian terraces and semis dominant throughout SW16 — the majority carrying suspended timber ground floors. — ONS Census 2021, dwelling age data, London Borough of Lambeth
Streatham's Victorian and Edwardian stock needs 6mm structural ply over suspended timber ground floors before carpet. Conversion flat upper-floor chipboard is a direct-lay carpet candidate — acoustic underlay is included in all flat installations and required under most Streatham leasehold agreements. Post-war infill houses with concrete ground floors are tested for moisture at the visit; a DPM is included in the fixed price where readings are elevated.
Victorian bay-fronted terraces fill the streets running off Streatham High Road — on roads like Leigham Avenue, Garrad's Road and Blegborough Road. Ground floors are suspended timber on joists. Many have been converted to two or three flats; in houses, the full ground floor is suspended timber and requires ply-rafting before any hard floor finish.
Leigham Avenue, Garrad's Road and Blegborough Road terraces all run on suspended timber, and springy Victorian boards will wear a carpet unevenly from below. We raft the ground floor with 9mm structural ply, then fit a breathable felt underlay so the void beneath keeps venting. Both stages sit inside the fixed written price agreed at your free home visit.
Edwardian semis around Streatham Common and Streatham Park — including roads like Ellison Road, Estreham Road and Conyers Road — have suspended timber ground floors. The larger semis near the Common have remained whole in many cases and suit quality floor specifications in all rooms.
The Edwardian semis on Ellison Road, Estreham Road and Conyers Road carry generous rooms that reward a quality wool twist. Ground floors here are suspended timber, so a 9mm ply raft goes down first with breathable felt underlay over it, keeping the original sub-floor ventilated. Many of these houses near the Common are still whole, and we carpet them room by room to one written quote.
A large proportion of Streatham's Victorian and Edwardian housing has been divided into conversion flats. Upper-floor flats have chipboard or original suspended timber boarding — a direct-lay surface for carpet, LVT and laminate with acoustic underlay. Ground-floor flats can show elevated moisture where original DPC has degraded.
Upper-floor flats in Streatham's converted Victorians take carpet over the chipboard or original boarding, with an acoustic underlay that keeps the installation compliant with most SW16 leasehold agreements. Ground-floor flats are different — degraded DPCs can push moisture up, so we check readings at the visit, raft flexing boards in ply and protect the underlay where needed.
Post-war infill houses in parts of Streatham and some newer development near Streatham Common station have solid-concrete or screeded ground floors. Some newer properties include wet underfloor heating. We assess subfloor type and moisture at the home visit before specifying any product.
Concrete ground floors in Streatham's post-war infill houses take carpet on 11mm PU foam underlay over gripper rods, with doors trimmed to the new height where the build-up demands it. We confirm the slab is dry at the free home visit before specifying — and the whole job is priced in one fixed written figure.
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. I would highly recommend Jon and the team to anyone looking for quality flooring work and reliable service.

Yes — upper-floor chipboard in the converted Victorians off Streatham High Road is a direct-lay candidate. Acoustic underlay is included as standard and satisfies most SW16 lease requirements.
Moisture is tested at your Streatham home visit; elevated readings get a DPM membrane beneath the underlay, inside the fixed price.
A three-bedroom terrace on roads like Leigham Avenue typically takes one day, ply-rafting and uplift included.
