Great video lads - quick question… what about tucking the carpet under the nose of the stairs to give it a clean look… do you use the carpet bolster and pins to keep it in place?
Best video I've found on doing this. The only part I'm missing is how the bottom of the carpet is finished. I've got a wooden floor at the bottom of the stairs
Solid install I like what you do If I could add anything would only be to scrub it into tack strip on risers too. First step had a little bump in the centre. Could have been a high nail or a double pin in the tack strip or thick patch of latex back of the carpet. Anyway I think worth doing
@homeimprovements Who did you get to custom make your runner? Was it made from carpet used elsewhere in the house, i.e, maybe leftover from the landing? Did you have to cut it yourself and send it off? Lots of questions but embarking on project to install stairs runner to match the landing carpet.
Hi mate, great video ,sure it's safe only 5mm each side from grippers under carpet? Others are saying 5cm , I've prepared 5mm like your video , just on underlay now ... its the same stair set up so cannot see from the sides , 23inch wide , thanks in advance , top g
Hey where's your hand rail for the stairs? In the US code says you need to install a handrail....is that ok not to do in the UK? Thanks for posting this video!
Do you have to fit a stair runner from the top too bottom & then bottom to top? If the runner is long enough can’t you just fit it from the top all the way down?
@@homeimprovements The stair tread normally overlaps the riser ( protrudes out around half inch or so ) , I see a lot of stair carpets are tucked under that
In the UK they fit the way they do in the video, called waterfall method. In America they pin it under each and every nosing, called Hollywood style. You can do whichever you like as long as you have enough nosing to pin underneath. A lot of the time UK stairs have hardly any nosings compared to American stairs which is why Hollywood is less common.
Just out of curiosity do you guys come across much axminster or woven carpet over there. We get practically none here in New Zealand it's becoming a lost art to install.
What can I do if you can feel the Gipper's through the carpet on stairs it cut my daughters foot last week the company that laid it said they not helping me. Can you tell me what to do please. Thank you
Save messing with the tape measure on the stairs just get two pieces of stiff card and measure them at 100mm each then put them on each side of the stairs. Much easier 👍
Yh been back to jobs 5 years later still mint and the fact we received a roll of cosi 10 with a meter of cloud 9 attached to the end tells us everything we need to know 👍🏼

You can yes 😊
Very helpful, thanks so much.

Thank you for your positive feedback, we will try and get a video to cover this soon 😊
Solid install I like what you do

Always entertaining and informative watching you lads
Thanks 😊

Coming up very soon 😊
Awesome cheers guys
Appreciate it 👍🏻
how much do you charge for this if I purchase the carpet, do you guys come out and do this at all?

Today, DJ beats and MC Grindah show you how to fit carpet

Depends on age of property in the uk if it’s older home then it’s fine 😊👌🏼👌🏼 and thanks for watching 😁
@@homeimprovements Keep it going with your videos & nice job with getting to be a TH-cam partner so soon after you started your channel. Way to go!
@@VideoJoeKnows thanks 😁😁
Brilliant 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
brilliant work guys. Where did you buy the carpet runner from, please?
Standard carpet we cut and had binding 😊👍🏼
Do you have to fit a stair runner from the top too bottom & then bottom to top?
If the runner is long enough can’t you just fit it from the top all the way down?
Yh we just demonstrate two methods of fitting 😊
What can I use if I don’t have a carpet tucker?
Do u use risers ?
What about the 1/2 inch or so protruding over lap on each one of the stair treads, don't you tuck it in underneath that as well ?
Not sure what you mean ?
@@homeimprovements The stair tread normally overlaps the riser ( protrudes out around half inch or so ) , I see a lot of stair carpets are tucked under that
@@homeimprovements I guess you'd call it the bullnose on each step that overlaps the riser

Same here mate practically non existent these days
Yeah that looks like a lot of hard work. No thanks
How much to get a pro to fit it? Same amount of steps?
Cheers
2-300 depending on who you use
@@homeimprovements cheers mate. Not too bad when you add up all the costs of the tools I spose
Cut yourself a spacer for the gripper rod when fitting on the stairs!
Love these video's ! Been so helpful ...What colour did you use on the panelling 🤔 I'm in love 🤣
HI Thanks for your nice comment 🙌 colour of the panelling is flannel grey . Valspa gold range 😉
What can I do if you can feel the Gipper's through the carpet on stairs it cut my daughters foot last week the company that laid it said they not helping me. Can you tell me what to do please. Thank you
That’s unfortunate yes if you scrub the grippers flat it will help take a bolster and drag it across the pins hope that’s clear 😁
Can you do one for a winding stair case by any chance lads?
We have one in the pipe line 😊😊
@@homeimprovements legends nice one boys!
How do u prevent wear and tear of the stait carpet, especially on the edge of the stairs
Stair nosing is the only way but that's more for commercial property's
But how do you finish off the bottom step? 🤔
Now install a handrail, so no one falls down!
Color name of the wall?
Flannel grey , Valspa range 🙌🙌
Why to people have stair runners. ? I can understand on really wide stairs but for tiny stairs it looks a bit odd makes the stairs look tiny
Save messing with the tape measure on the stairs just get two pieces of stiff card and measure them at 100mm each then put them on each side of the stairs. Much easier 👍
Great tip 🙌
FFS at least use decent gripper!! And Cosi 10 ??? On a staircase ?
Yh been back to jobs 5 years later still mint and the fact we received a roll of cosi 10 with a meter of cloud 9 attached to the end tells us everything we need to know 👍🏼
Being a carpet fitter, spose ur get yourself a dagenham or barking lady.. done well pal...
Feel Better now after that comment ?
?????
It's "bound" not "binded"!
My bad
