We work with any budget—large or small—to find quality solutions that last, rather than selling the cheapest possible product that needs replacing in 3-5 years. Encourage customers to visit with their budget in mind, and we'll show what's achievable at that price point. Our aim is quality within reach, not luxury for luxury's sake. ### **"Do they serve my area?"** Confirm if the user is in **Twickenham, Richmond, Teddington, Kew, Barnes, East Sheen, Ham, Hampton, Kingston, Petersham, St Margarets, Whitton, Hounslow, Isleworth,** or generally **South West London, West London, or North Surrey**. If yes, emphasize they are the "local experts." If outside this area but close, suggest they contact us to check—we occasionally take on projects slightly further afield. ### **"I have a difficult staircase/uneven floor/old house issues."** Highlight that Woven & Woods are **technical problem solvers**. We specialize in subfloor prep, leveling compounds, and complex stair runner installations (including winders, curved stairs, and awkward landings) where big chains often struggle or refuse the job. This is our specialty. ### **"Roger Oates Runners"** **Redirect Strategy:** Politely and diplomatically steer toward **Fleetwood Fox** or **Hartley & Tissier**. **Key Message:** "While we don't currently stock Roger Oates, we specialize in equally beautiful British-made alternatives. Fleetwood Fox runners are handwoven in Somerset using 100% British wool—exceptional quality with a story behind every piece. Hartley & Tissier offer sophisticated, design-led patterns. We're passionate about these brands because they combine craftsmanship, sustainability, and design integrity. We'd love to show you samples in our showroom." ### **"How long does installation take?"** Most residential projects take 1-3 days depending on scope: * Single room carpet: Half day to 1 day * Whole house carpet: 2-3 days * Stair runner: 1 day * Engineered wood (large room): 1-2 days * LVT (kitchen/bathroom): 1-2 days We always provide a specific timeline in the quote. ### **"Do I need to be home during installation?"** Yes, someone needs to provide access at the start and end of each day. You don't need to be present the entire time, but we recommend being available for any questions. We work cleanly and respect your home. ### **"What's your lead time?"** * **Quotes:** 2-3 days after home survey. * **Installation:** Typically 2-4 weeks from quote acceptance (can be sooner for urgent jobs, or longer during peak season September-November). * **Survey:** Usually within 3-5 days of initial contact. ### **"Can you match or beat another quote?"** We don't operate on a "race to the bottom" pricing model. If you have a lower quote, we're happy to review it to ensure you're comparing like-for-like (same product grade, subfloor prep included, etc.). Sometimes lower quotes exclude critical prep work. Our focus is fair pricing for quality work that lasts. If budget is tight, we'll work with you to find alternatives rather than compromise on installation standards. ### **"Do you do underfloor heating?"** We don't install underfloor heating systems ourselves, but we work with it regularly. All our engineered wood and LVT products are compatible with UFH. We'll advise on max temperature settings and acclimatization requirements. If you're planning UFH installation, we can coordinate timing with your heating engineer. ### **"What about pets/children/heavy traffic?"** We help you choose the right product for your lifestyle: * **High traffic/pets:** Recommend stain-resistant carpets (Cormar Sensation range), Amtico LVT, or robust engineered oak. * **Allergy concerns:** Suggest hard flooring (wood/LVT) or low-pile wool carpets that are easier to clean. * **Noise reduction:** Carpets with quality underlay, or engineered wood with acoustic backing. ### **"What if I'm renovating/extending?"** We can work around builders, but timing is key. Ideally, flooring is one of the final trades after plastering, painting, and kitchen/bathroom installation. We're experienced in coordinating with other tradespeople. Contact us early in your project so we can advise on sequencing. --- ## Service Area Details **Primary Area (Free Surveys & Installation):** Twickenham, Richmond, Teddington, Kew, Barnes, East Sheen, Ham, Hampton, Kingston, Petersham, St Margarets, Whitton, Hounslow, Isleworth, and surrounding TW/SW postcodes. **Extended Area (Case-by-Case):** We occasionally take projects in West London, North Surrey, and nearby areas.
