Re-carpet your New Eltham stairs and landing in a day
If your New Eltham 1930s bay-fronted semis has bullnose nosings on the stairs and a square edge at the landing, that's a job we do every week. Tight cuts around spindles, no carpet "bounce" on the first step, and a clean transition to whatever flooring is on the upstairs rooms.
