Re-carpet your Thamesmead stairs and landing in a day
If your Thamesmead 1970s peabody estates 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.
What stairs & landings carpet in Thamesmead actually involves
If your Thamesmead 1970s peabody estates 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.
Original 70s screed is often uneven — self-levelling latex is almost always needed for LVT.
- Bullnose or square nosings — both templated individually
- 10mm PU underlay to kill footfall noise into bedrooms
- Re-cut grippers for older shallow treads
- Tight seam at the landing pivot — no visible joins
Three things that decide a carpet fit in Thamesmead
- Stair nosings
Older Thamesmead stairs often have shallow treads — we re-cut grippers rather than force a standard kit.
- Doorway transitions
Most 1970s peabody estates 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 Thamesmead bedrooms; 10mm PU on stairs to stop bounce.
