Flooring Services

How we do it

Straight flights are easily fitted, but curved or winding staircases require careful templating. We visit properties in Kensington to take measurements, display samples and discuss your custom runner requirements.

The process - how we do it

Straight staircases are simpler propositions, but winding stairs require templating. Our team visits your Kensington property to measure, present samples and understand your vision. Many interior designers and architects we work with provide specific designs at this consultation.

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 Kensington 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.
