Stairs & Hall Runners Balham SW12
Handmade stair and hall runners in Balham SW12Cavendish deVere design and create bespoke stair runners in South West London. We design, supply and fit custom-made runners for homes, flats, shops and offices in Balham. |
How we do itA straight run of stairs is relatively easy to fit but if you have winders - stairs that go around corners, then you will need a template and so we will come to visit you in Balham. We measure the stairs, bring samples and discuss your requirements. At this stage many of our designer and architect clients will provide us with a design. |
After the quoteIf you accept our quote and depending on the complexity of the design and the staircase, we will return to the property to create a template. The carpet is then ordered, delivered to site, cut to size, taken away to be whipped and bound to seal the edges or a bordered tape is stitched on. The runner is carefully checked for defects and delivered to site for fitting. |
