Bexley stair carpet fitters — neat nosings, no bounce
Stair carpet is the trickiest fit in any Bexley home — every tread is different, the nosings vary and the landing pivot has to look seamless. We template each tread individually on victorian cottages stairs and use 10mm PU underlay on landings so footfall doesn't carry into the bedrooms below.
What stairs & landings carpet in Bexley actually involves
Stair carpet is the trickiest fit in any Bexley home — every tread is different, the nosings vary and the landing pivot has to look seamless. We template each tread individually on victorian cottages stairs and use 10mm PU underlay on landings so footfall doesn't carry into the bedrooms below.
Victorian cottages often have suspended timber over ventilated voids — careful nailing only.

Before we quote a carpet job in Bexley
- Stair nosings
Older Bexley stairs often have shallow treads — we re-cut grippers rather than force a standard kit.
- Doorway transitions
Most victorian cottages 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 Bexley bedrooms; 10mm PU on stairs to stop bounce.
In short — stair and landing carpet in Bexley is a 4–6 hour job, priced after a free site visit, fitted with PU underlay to stop bounce and noise.
