Bromley stair carpet fitters — neat nosings, no bounce
Most Bromley stairs were built before standard underlay sizes existed. We re-cut grippers to suit the shallower treads you'll find around Detached and large semis around Bickley, terraces near town, modern flats by The Glades, and we pin every nosing rather than relying on tape. Whole flight plus landing usually finished inside 4–5 hours.
