West Wickham carpet — the details that matter
- Stair nosings
Older West Wickham stairs often have shallow treads — we re-cut grippers rather than force a standard kit.

Most 1930s detached homes 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 West Wickham bedrooms; 10mm PU on stairs to stop bounce.

Striped Carpet Runners in West Wickham — common questions
Yes — most ranges we fit in West Wickham pair a wool stripe on the stairs with a plain wool of the darker or lighter stripe colour in the bedrooms.
A striped runner takes longer than plain carpet because of pattern alignment — usually a full day in a 1930s detached and large semis 1930s detached homes rather than half a day.
Rods are period-correct and adjustable if the carpet ever needs re-stretching. Clips are cleaner-looking but a bigger job if you ever change the runner. Most BR4 customers pick rods.
For a proper runner look, yes — a painted or stained border shows up 4–8 inches either side of the runner. We can recommend a West Wickham decorator or work over your existing paintwork.
