Loose stair carpet and lifted laminate nosings are serious trip hazards. Carpet stretches and pulls free of grippers, and laminate edges crack where feet land. We refit or replace stair carpet, runners and laminate with secure grippers and nosings.

Process
Existing carpet or laminate is lifted without tearing.
Grippers, underlay and nosings are renewed.
Carpet is stretched tight, or laminate bonded and screwed.
Each step is checked for movement and trip edges.
Stairs are where flooring takes the most stress. Every step pushes and pulls at the nosing. Proper grippers, underlay and nosing profiles keep coverings tight and safe.
Laminate on stairs needs solid nosing profiles fixed mechanically, not just glued, or the edges will lift.
For timber stairs, see stair refinishing. For safety, see stair safety upgrades, and for flooring, parquet floor repair.
Runners
A stair runner shows off timber while adding grip.
Pets
Low-pile carpet is easier to clean and safer for pets.
