Always entertaining and informative watching you lads
Thanks 😊
Today, DJ beats and MC Grindah show you how to fit carpet
Thankyou top geezers
Nice one mate 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
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
Thank you for your positive feedback, we will try and get a video to cover this soon 😊
Awesome cheers guys
Appreciate it 👍🏻
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 😉
Could you do a video on how to go round corners with a runner please 👍 great vids btw
Coming up very soon 😊
Cut yourself a spacer for the gripper rod when fitting on the stairs!
Can you tell me the very best carpet for stairs and landing ?
What can I use if I don’t have a carpet tucker?
brilliant work guys. Where did you buy the carpet runner from, please?
Standard carpet we cut and had binding 😊👍🏼
Do u use risers ?
@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.
Ordered carpet cut to shape and sent of for whipping 😊 we have one showing the shaping process
how much do you charge for this if I purchase the carpet, do you guys come out and do this at all?
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
if first go, leave 10-15 mm give you a bit more le way. Thank for your comment bro much appreciated
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!
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 UA-cam partner so soon after you started your channel. Way to go!
@@VideoJoeKnows thanks 😁😁
But how do you finish off the bottom step? 🤔
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.
Same here mate practically non existent these days
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
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
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 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 😁
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
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
Color name of the wall?
Flannel grey , Valspa range 🙌🙌
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 👍🏼
It's "bound" not "binded"!
My bad
Being a carpet fitter, spose ur get yourself a dagenham or barking lady.. done well pal...
Feel Better now after that comment ?
