Greenwich stair carpet fitters — neat nosings, no bounce
Most Greenwich 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 homes near the park, modern flats on the peninsula, 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 Greenwich carpet job
- Greenwich subfloor reality
Period properties have suspended timber and lath ceilings below — no aggressive sanding.
- Underlay choice
8mm crumb is the usual call for Greenwich bedrooms; 10mm PU on stairs to stop bounce.
- Doorway transitions
Most georgian and victorian period homes doorways here need a bevelled bar rather than a Z-bar to clear the carpet next door.
Bottom line: Greenwich stairs deserve a fitter who templates each tread. We do that as standard — every spindle, every nosing.
