Re-carpet your Crayford stairs and landing in a day
Most Crayford stairs were built before standard underlay sizes existed. We re-cut grippers to suit the shallower treads you'll find around 1930s semis, terraces off Crayford Road, plus converted industrial flats, and we pin every nosing rather than relying on tape. Whole flight plus landing usually finished inside 4–5 hours.

What we check first on a Crayford carpet job
- Crayford subfloor reality
Converted industrial flats often have polished concrete — checked for moisture before LVT.
- Underlay choice
8mm crumb is the usual call for Crayford bedrooms; 10mm PU on stairs to stop bounce.
- Doorway transitions
Most 1930s semis doorways here need a bevelled bar rather than a Z-bar to clear the carpet next door.
- 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: Crayford stairs deserve a fitter who templates each tread. We do that as standard — every spindle, every nosing.
