Stairs specialist
Stair carpets & runners, fitted to last
Stairs are the hardest-working floor in the house and the trickiest to fit. Ben fits fully-carpeted stairs and runners — wool twists, hard-wearing ranges and whipped runners with rods — across London, Essex and the M4.
Why stairs need a specialist
Bullnose steps, winders, spindles and landings make stairs the most technical carpet job in the home. A poor fit shows immediately and wears fast. Ben fits stairs day in, day out, so the carpet sits tight on every nosing and lasts.
Choose a fully-fitted stair carpet to match your landing, or a runner with a border of exposed tread for a smarter, more characterful look.
Your options
Fully-fitted stair carpet
Wall-to-wall carpet up the stairs and across the landing, for warmth and a seamless look.
Carpet runners
A central runner with exposed tread either side — classic, and easier to refresh.
Whipped-edge runners
A neatly bound runner, fixed with rods or glued, for a tailored finish.
The right material
Hard-wearing wool twists and stain-resistant ranges chosen to handle stair traffic.

Stair carpet questions
How much does a stair carpet cost to fit?
It depends on the carpet, the number of steps, winders and whether you include the landing. Stairs are more labour than a flat room — your home-visit quote will be precise.
Runner or fully-fitted — which is better?
A runner suits character homes and shows off the staircase; fully-fitted is warmer and softer underfoot. Both work beautifully when fitted well.
What carpet is best for stairs?
A hard-wearing wool twist or quality stain-resistant range. Avoid loose loops on stairs. See our stairs guide for detail.
Can you fit a runner with stair rods?
Yes — runners can be fixed with traditional rods or fully secured. Ben will advise what suits your stairs.
