We fit stair runners across Bromley and Chislehurst (~2.5 miles) — wool-rich stripes, plain sisals, or bound-edge patterned runners with brass rods. If you've stripped the treads yourself and want them finished properly before the runner goes down, we do that end-to-end.

Stair Runner Fitting in Bromley — common questions
Most bickley detached homes stairs are 85–90cm wide, so a 70cm runner leaves a 7–10cm reveal each side. We measure your treads before recommending — narrower stairs (older Detached and large semis around Bickley, terraces near town, modern flats by The Glades houses) often suit 60cm.
