Stairs and landing carpet in Beckenham
Stair carpet is the trickiest fit in any Beckenham home — every tread is different, the nosings vary and the landing pivot has to look seamless. We template each tread individually on edwardian and 1930s semis stairs and use 10mm PU underlay on landings so footfall doesn't carry into the bedrooms below.
