Our Carpet Fitting Process
We've fitted carpets in hundreds of local homes—from Citadel East semis to West Lane bungalows. Here's what to expect when you book with Foxglove Flooring.
Step 1 – Free Home Visit
Contact us and we'll arrange a convenient time to visit. Our surveyor measures your rooms accurately and discusses your needs. You'll receive a clear written quote with no hidden costs.
Step 2 – Floor Preparation
We lift and dispose of old flooring responsibly. Older Killingworth properties often have loose floorboards—we secure these first. Uneven surfaces are levelled so your carpet lies flat. We can help move furniture too.
Step 3 – Professional Installation
Our fully insured fitters use professional tools and techniques. Grippers are positioned correctly, underlay fits edge-to-edge, and carpets are stretched to prevent rippling. Staircases get secure fixing for safety. Joins are placed where they won't be noticed.
Step 4 – Clean Finish
We vacuum your new carpet and remove all waste. Then we walk through with you to confirm you're happy. Your home stays tidy and your carpets are ready to use immediately.
Step 5 - Enjoy Your New Carpets
Professional fitting protects your investment. Killingworth properties range from £180,000 terraced homes to £350,000+ detached houses. Quality carpet installation adds lasting value to homes at every price point. Our fully insured work gives you complete peace of mind.
Popular Carpets for Killingworth Houses
Killingworth was built as a "new town" in the 1960s to house families moving from Newcastle's older areas. Today it's a mix of post-war semis, ex-council homes, modernised estates, and heritage cottages in the original village. Each type needs different carpets.
Village Cottages and Conservation Homes
Killingworth Village has older stone cottages that date back before the 1960s expansion. These properties suit natural wool carpets. Wool complements exposed stone walls and timber beams whilst meeting conservation area standards.
Why wool works here:
- Naturally durable for family wear
- Traditional look that respects heritage features
- Undyed or heathered tones blend with stonework
1960s–70s Semis and Terraces
Most local homes come from estates like Garth Twentyfour and Garth Fifteen. These brick-built semis and ex-council terraces have timber subfloors that creak and let noise travel between rooms.
Best carpet choices:
- Twist pile with thick underlay — stops creaking and reduces noise
- Stain-resistant treatments — essential for young families in the area
- Darker colours (greys, browns, charcoals) — hide mud from walks around Killingworth Lake and Rising Sun Country Park
These practical choices matter for rentals and family homes where flooring takes daily wear.
Modern Estates and The Lakes
The Lakes Estate features large detached homes and modernised bungalows. Many have underfloor heating. This means you need low-tog carpets (below 1.5 tog) that let heat pass through efficiently.
Premium options for these properties:
- Wool or wool-blend carpets — match the home's value
- Low-tog underlay — keeps heating bills down
- Light neutrals (oatmeal, soft grey, pale taupe) — suit open-plan layouts and large windows
Family Homes and Active Lifestyles
Our area's outdoor culture centres on the lake, country park, and cycle routes. Households need carpets that cope with muddy boots and active use.
For families with children and pets:
- Polypropylene carpets — affordable and highly stain-resistant (good for rentals)
- Mid-range twist pile or saxony — balance durability with style for viewings
- Easy-clean fibres — practical for North Tyneside family life

"Foxglove Flooring sorted our creaky 1960s floors brilliantly. The house is so much quieter now, the kids can actually sleep through the night without every footstep waking them up!"
