How we do it

A straight run of stairs is straightforward to fit, but if you have winders—stairs that turn corners—then you'll need a template and we'll visit you in Knightsbridge. We measure the stairs, bring samples and discuss your requirements in detail.

The process - how we do it

Straight staircases are simpler propositions, but winding stairs require templating. Our team visits your Knightsbridge 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?

Following quote approval, complex or patterned staircases are templated. Your carpet is ordered, delivered, precisely cut, edge-sealed with whipping and binding or bordered tape, inspected for quality, then brought to site for professional fitting.

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.
