Stairs and landing carpet in Petts Wood
Stair carpet is the trickiest fit in any Petts Wood home — every tread is different, the nosings vary and the landing pivot has to look seamless. We template each tread individually on 1930s mock-tudor detached stairs and use 10mm PU underlay on landings so footfall doesn't carry into the bedrooms below.
