Welling carpet — the details that matter
- Stair nosings
Older Welling stairs often have shallow treads — we re-cut grippers rather than force a standard kit.
- Doorway transitions
Most 1930s semis 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 Welling bedrooms; 10mm PU on stairs to stop bounce.
- Traditional striped patterns aligned perfectly at nosings
- Fitted with brass or chrome stair rods on request
- Suits Victorian, Edwardian and townhouse flights
- Runners kept centred with painted or stained borders
