How we do it

For straight stairs, the process is simple. Winders and corner turns need precise templating, so we'll come to your Greenwich home to measure, show samples and plan your bespoke runner installation.

The process - how we do it

While a straight set of stairs is fairly straightforward, if you have winders—stairs that go around corners—you'll need a template and we'll visit you in Greenwich. We measure the flights of stairs, bring samples and discuss your requirements. At this stage many of our designer and architect clients provide us with a design.

After the quote - what happens?

Upon accepting your quotation, we template intricate designs or winding stairs. The carpet is ordered, arrives at our workshop, gets cut to specification, edges whipped and bound, quality-checked, then delivered to your Greenwich property for expert installation.

A tread that is used where a stair turns a horizontal angle, or shaped like a wedge or truncated wedge—basically, it is a stair that goes around a corner.

A stair runner is a carpet that goes in the middle of a flight of stairs leaving the treads visible on either side.

Whipping is an edge treatment applied to stair runners to seal and protect the edges. It creates a clean, professional finish.

A bordered runner has decorative tape or fabric sewn along the edges, creating a contrasting or complementary design element.
