Stairs and landing carpet in Lee
Stair carpet is the trickiest fit in any Lee home — every tread is different, the nosings vary and the landing pivot has to look seamless. We template each tread individually on victorian terraces stairs and use 10mm PU underlay on landings so footfall doesn't carry into the bedrooms below.
What stairs & landings carpet in Lee actually involves
Stair carpet is the trickiest fit in any Lee home — every tread is different, the nosings vary and the landing pivot has to look seamless. We template each tread individually on victorian terraces stairs and use 10mm PU underlay on landings so footfall doesn't carry into the bedrooms below.
Victorian terraces often have suspended timber over ventilated voids — careful nailing only.

Lee carpet — the details that matter
- Stair nosings
Older Lee stairs often have shallow treads — we re-cut grippers rather than force a standard kit.
- Doorway transitions
Most victorian 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 Lee bedrooms; 10mm PU on stairs to stop bounce.
