Stairs and landing carpet in Sidcup
Most Sidcup stairs were built before standard underlay sizes existed. We re-cut grippers to suit the shallower treads you'll find around Mostly 1930s, with newer flats around the station, and we pin every nosing rather than relying on tape. Whole flight plus landing usually finished inside 4–5 hours.
