About this service
Why choose us for Stair Carpet Fitting in Exeter?
Stairs are one of the most visible parts of any home, and one of the most demanding. A staircase sees more foot traffic than almost any other surface, day after day. The right carpet makes a genuine difference: it reduces noise significantly, protects the wooden treads beneath, and adds warmth and comfort underfoot, which matters particularly in homes with young children or elderly family members. We fit everything from simple fully-fitted carpet edge to edge, to decorative stair runners with brass, chrome, or black stair rods that show off the wooden stair edges beneath. Whatever the configuration of your staircase (straight, curved, winding, or open-plan with cut strings), we measure carefully and fit to a clean, tight, professional finish every time. We bring sample books to your door so you can see exactly how different styles and colours will look on your specific staircase.

Todd replaced the carpet on our stairs with a beautiful patterned runner. Absolutely love it. He was professional, helpful and left everything spotless. Five stars without hesitation.

FAQs
Frequently asked questions.
What type of carpet is best for stairs?
A hard-wearing, dense pile carpet (twist pile or loop pile) is ideal for stairs, as it handles heavy foot traffic and resists flattening over time. We always recommend fitting a good quality underlay on stairs too, which adds cushioning, significantly reduces noise, and extends the life of the carpet. We'll advise on the right pile and weight for your specific staircase and household during the home visit.
What is a stair runner and how is it fitted?
A stair runner is a strip of carpet that runs down the centre of the stairs, leaving the wooden edges of each tread visible on either side. It's held in place with stair rods (available in brass, chrome, and black finishes) and is a particularly popular choice in Victorian and period properties across Exeter where showing off original wooden or painted stairs adds character. The runner is fitted over underlay and gripper rods for a secure, professional result.
Can you fit carpet on curved or winding stairs?
Yes. We have experience fitting carpet on all staircase types: straight, curved, winding stairs with quarter-turn or half-turn landings, and open-plan staircases with cut strings. Curved and winding stairs require more precise measuring and careful cutting to achieve a neat result, and we take the time to get it right.
Do you remove and dispose of old stair carpet?
Yes: old carpet removal and disposal is included. We'll remove the existing carpet, gripper rods, and underlay, check the condition of the stair treads, and prepare the surface properly before fitting the new carpet. If there are any issues with the treads worth knowing about, we'll flag them during the visit.
Where we work
Stair Carpet Fitting across Exeter and surrounding areas
Exeter has a huge number of Victorian and Edwardian terraced houses in areas like St Thomas, Heavitree, Polsloe, and Topsham, where staircases are often a feature worth highlighting. A carefully chosen stair runner with decorative rods is a popular choice in these properties, adding character, showing off the wooden treads, and still delivering the cushioning and noise reduction that carpet provides. We fit stair carpet across the full Exeter area and out to Exmouth, Dawlish, and Teignmouth. Stair carpet requires more precision than a flat room, and we take care with every step.
