Re-carpet your Charlton stairs and landing in a day
Most Charlton stairs were built before standard underlay sizes existed. We re-cut grippers to suit the shallower treads you'll find around Victorian terraces around the village, modern riverside apartments on the Thames, and we pin every nosing rather than relying on tape. Whole flight plus landing usually finished inside 4–5 hours.
What stairs & landings carpet in Charlton actually involves
Most Charlton stairs were built before standard underlay sizes existed. We re-cut grippers to suit the shallower treads you'll find around Victorian terraces around the village, modern riverside apartments on the Thames, and we pin every nosing rather than relying on tape. Whole flight plus landing usually finished inside 4–5 hours.
Riverside blocks have leasehold acoustic specs — we always use the specified underlay.
Before we quote a carpet job in Charlton
- Stair nosings
Older Charlton stairs often have shallow treads — we re-cut grippers rather than force a standard kit.
- Doorway transitions
Most victorian village 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 Charlton bedrooms; 10mm PU on stairs to stop bounce.
- Bullnose or square nosings — both templated individually
- 10mm PU underlay to kill footfall noise into bedrooms
- Re-cut grippers for older shallow treads
- Tight seam at the landing pivot — no visible joins
Bottom line: Charlton stairs deserve a fitter who templates each tread. We do that as standard — every spindle, every nosing.
