Karndean in a Greenwich stairs — common questions
Honest answer — it can be done, but it's not the default. For a stairs, we'd normally recommend carpet or wool carpet. If you want Karndean anyway, we'll explain the trade-offs before ordering.
A typical Greenwich stairs is one working day for the install, plus a separate morning if subfloor screed is needed. We'll confirm at the site visit.
Sometimes yes, sometimes not — most Greenwich georgian and victorian period homes have either original floorboards or a solid screed underneath. We check moisture and level as part of the survey and quote any prep separately.
Both. We supply and fit as standard (best price, one warranty), but plenty of Greenwich customers ask us to fit Karndean they've bought themselves. We're happy to do that on a per-m² fitting-only rate.
