How to Guides

Everything we get asked on the phone, written down. If your question is not here, call us on 01935 412860 Monday to Friday — we would rather help before the carpet is cut than after.

Measuring

How to measure your stairs for a runner
The one that matters most. Tread, riser, winders, landings, and how much to add so you are not left short.

Choosing

Edging explained: bare, wool whipping and binding tape
What the three options actually look like, what each costs per metre, and how to pick a tape colour that works with the carpet.

Stair runner or fitted carpet?
Runners show your staircase and are easier to replace. Fitted carpet is warmer underfoot and hides a tired staircase. An honest comparison, including where a runner is the wrong answer.

Ordering

How ordering a made-to-measure runner works
What happens between you clicking buy and a runner arriving: how we price by the metre, how long it takes, and what to check when it turns up.

Still not sure?
