Whitstable on-the-ground notes for stair runners

Older properties towards Tankerton often need latex smoothing before any stair runners goes down; newer stock around Swalecliffe is usually a straight lay once we've moisture-tested the slab.
Whitstable's High Street and High Street generate a lot of our commercial stair runners work; the residential side is heavier around Tankerton and Seasalter. Because both are on our weekly route, an honest pricing conversation in Whitstable rarely needs a second van visit.
On cost specifically: Whitstable stair runners pricing turns on three things — the age of the subfloor under a weatherboard cottages, whether the run of stair runners needs to match into an existing area, and door/threshold count. Postcode CT5 doesn't attract a premium from us; a job in Tankerton costs the same per square metre as one in Swalecliffe.
Whitstable's subfloor mix — Weatherboard cottages and modern coastal flats on the older streets, screed on the newer ones — means our stair runners spec adapts room by room. We survey with a moisture meter, note edge conditions in Tankerton, and photograph anything unusual so nobody's surprised on fit day.
