Stair Runners · Chatham
Your Chatham stair runners specialists
Stair Runners done right in Chatham. We prep the subfloor properly, fit in-house, and cover Walderslade and Luton and the rest of the ME4 district.
Why Chatham chooses us for stair runners
Chatham is the historic naval town at the heart of Medway, and over the years we've fitted stair runners into more or less every type of property here — Victorian terraces and ex-MOD housing, plus newer stock around Walderslade. Working close to the A2, we can usually be on site in days rather than weeks, with roughly 1 miles from Rochester on every stair runners install we sign off.
We focus on doing the boring bits properly — subfloor prep, accurate measuring, scribed cuts and clean handover — so the stair runners you can see is the part that lasts.

Chatham stair runners considerations
Every Chatham property is different. These are the things we always check before quoting your stair runners:
- Side margins agreed to suit the staircase width
- Stair rod and bracket options (brushed nickel, brass, chrome)
- Underlay choice for grip and longevity
- Spindle staircases vs closed string — different fit method

Stair runners questions from Chatham customers
Do you do bound edges in Chatham?
Yes — all our Chatham runners are professionally bound to width in either matching or contrast tape, with woven herringbone binding available too.
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.
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.
Can you fit a runner on my spindle staircase in Chatham?
Yes — spindle staircases are one of the trickiest fits and we do them every week across Chatham. The runner is cut to width, bound on both edges and tucked carefully behind each spindle.
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.
