Stair runners questions from Chatham customers
Can you fit a pattern across winder treads?
Yes — winder treads need each piece cut individually and the pattern matched. It takes longer but it's worth it for the finished look.
Do I need stair rods?
No, they're optional. They add a finished look and traditional feel, but they don't structurally hold the runner — the underlay, grippers and stretching do that.
How long does a stair runner take to fit?
A standard 13-step staircase with a small landing is a full day for the fit, plus a few days lead time on the bound runner itself.
What width runner do I need?
We usually recommend leaving 50-75mm of stair tread showing on each side. We mark it up with you on the survey so you can see the proportions before ordering.
Are you the nearest Chatham flooring team?
We're a Medway-based flooring warehouse covering Chatham and the wider Kent area. Whether we're literally the closest depends on the postcode, but we're local enough that the same fitters work Chatham every week.
