Hayes stair carpet fitters — neat nosings, no bounce
Stair carpet is the trickiest fit in any Hayes home — every tread is different, the nosings vary and the landing pivot has to look seamless. We template each tread individually on 1930s detached homes stairs and use 10mm PU underlay on landings so footfall doesn't carry into the bedrooms below.

Stairs & Landings Carpet in Hayes — common questions
Yes — most Hayes customers do exactly that. A hard-wearing twist or stripe on the stairs and landing, a softer pile in the bedrooms, joined cleanly with a door bar at the top of the flight.
Yes — runners suit period Hayes properties with stained or painted stair sides. We fit the runner with brass rods or invisible clips, depending on the look you're after.

We bring 6–10 sample boards on the visit so you can see them in your own light against existing skirting and doors.
