What stairs & landings carpet in Barnehurst actually involves
If your Barnehurst 1930s bay-fronted semis has bullnose nosings on the stairs and a square edge at the landing, that's a job we do every week. Tight cuts around spindles, no carpet "bounce" on the first step, and a clean transition to whatever flooring is on the upstairs rooms.
1930s pine floorboards throughout — always ply-overlaid before LVT or vinyl.

- Re-cut grippers for older shallow treads
- Tight seam at the landing pivot — no visible joins
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.
"Templated every tread on a Victorian flight — no bunching at the nosing." — DA7 install
