Stair flooring in Carters Green, West Bromwich. Stairs finished in LVT, laminate or wood, with proper nosings on every step for grip and a clean edge.
Stairs are the hardest floor in the house to get right, and the most visible when they are done badly. In Carters Green a lot of homes are replacing worn stair carpet with LVT, laminate or wood to match the hallway floor below.
Every tread and riser is measured and cut individually, because stairs are never quite square. The key detail is the nosing - the front edge of each step - which gives grip, protects the edge, and makes the whole flight look finished. Without a proper nosing, stair flooring chips, lifts and becomes a slip risk.
Preparation matters here too. Old carpet grippers and staples are removed, loose treads fixed, and any creaks sorted while the stairs are bare. On winders - the turning steps many Carters Green houses have at the top or bottom - each piece is templated to fit the shape exactly.
The aim is a staircase that runs straight into the hallway floor, with the same finish and no awkward transition at the bottom step.
Choosing a matching product for stairs and hall takes a little planning in Carters Green homes, because not every flooring range makes stair nosings in every colour. It is worth checking the nosing options before choosing the hallway floor, so the staircase does not end up a near-match. We will check availability for the exact product before anything is ordered, which saves an awkward compromise once the hall is already down. A floor that bounces, boards that creak and shift, or damp coming up through a solid floor are worth sorting before anything new goes down.
