Barnehurst carpet — the details that matter
- Stair nosings
Older Barnehurst stairs often have shallow treads — we re-cut grippers rather than force a standard kit.
- Doorway transitions
Most 1930s bay-fronted semis doorways here need a bevelled bar rather than a Z-bar to clear the carpet next door.
- Underlay choice
8mm crumb is the usual call for Barnehurst bedrooms; 10mm PU on stairs to stop bounce.
- Carpet, LVT and engineered wood all fitted in loft conversions
- Acoustic underlay to protect the floor below
- Stair carpet template extended into the loft
- Awkward angles, dwarf walls and roof pitches handled
Bottom line: loft flooring is angle work — templated properly, it's a one-day fit.
