Abbey Wood stairss — fitted with Karndean
The stairs in a post-2018 new-build apartment sees more traffic than people think, and SE2 is no different. We fit Karndean across Abbey Wood every month — mostly in Post-2018 Elizabeth-line new-builds plus 1960s ex-council terraces-era stock — and the job is 60% preparation. Once the subfloor is right, Karndean goes down cleanly and reads square to the room. Karndean to a stairs is a specialist install — done carefully it looks brilliant, but it's not the default choice, and we'll be honest about that on the site visit.
