Stairs and landing carpet in Blackheath
Most Blackheath stairs were built before standard underlay sizes existed. We re-cut grippers to suit the shallower treads you'll find around Georgian and Victorian period stock, plus Cator estate 1950s modernism, and we pin every nosing rather than relying on tape. Whole flight plus landing usually finished inside 4–5 hours.

Three things that decide a carpet fit in Blackheath
- Stair nosings
Older Blackheath stairs often have shallow treads — we re-cut grippers rather than force a standard kit.
- Doorway transitions
Most georgian terraces 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 Blackheath bedrooms; 10mm PU on stairs to stop bounce.
