I’ve been fitting 30 years. Never gripped risers , always turned back . Great demo , always 10 ways to skin a cat . As a side note, wear a aerosol mask when spray gluing . I worked in NZ for years and we always use PPE . Spray adhesive is cancerous 🇮🇪👌
Thanks 👍
Thanks guys I managed to fit carpet myself thanks to your video as no one was available at the time. Not a carpet fitter but looks good. Great video
Glad it helped 👍
I watched tour video on laying carpet to a room I did exactly as you showed and it came out perfect I didn't realise there was so much involved in laying carpet to get it right thank you I'm attempting the stairs with kits next thanks again very helpful phil
That's great! 😊
Excellent video. Well done English craftsmen :)
Thank you! Cheers!
Very informative video, my mate Gio is always moaning about how he struggles when fitting stairs. I’ll share it with him as I’m sure this will help him greatly 👍
Thanks 😊💪🏼
Excellent
Thank you so much 😀
I have a plastic bolster especially for crap paint jobs 👍.
Yeah just wished they had more weight behind them
You will need your plastic chisel a lot more now, coz normal paint is dog shite!
Super job lads❤
New to your channel but love the way you actually take time to show a real demonstration rather then just trying to explain. Plus the let the haters hate type attitude is comical 🤣 great finish
😁 thanks appreciate it
Great Video guys!
Great instructions 👍👍 Thanks a lot 🍀
Great tutorial. Thanks a lot👍
Thanks for the comment much appreciated 🙌
Just because no one said it 'It's crap' Haha! Thanks for the advice! :)
I LIKE IT I LIKE IT ALOT 😂😂🙌🙌
Top job Lads.......proper neat winder ........
Nice one Chris 💪🏼💪🏼
Great video again lads, ye really should make a video showing how to turn the sides as most folk cant ever get gripper on the inside of the kites
Noted 😁😁
Honestly so helpful
😁🙏🏼
Good carpet skills helps a lot
😊😊
excellent video. well done
Thanks appreciate the support ⭐️
I'm a floor layer. I haven't seen gripper lapped up the bull nosing before. Finish looks great ill have to give this a try
Thanks Yh mate worth trying leaves a super clean finish 😊😊😊👌🏼
The best way to do it.
A much better finish.
Impressive know how!
👏🏼👏🏼
Nice to see the sides grippered, makes for a much neater finish
😁😁🙏🏼🙏🏼
Thanks lads for the video tips, really helpful. I never laid carpet before, and wanted to see if you had any videos or advice on how to lay a patterned stair runner that will also have rods onto three steps that are winders?
Our pleasure! 😁 nothing yet I’m afraid 🙈
I’ve never seen them glued, double like a double glue down Job glue the carpet to the pad on a pie stare at the first as long as they look good and give good service
Note: its not bending the pins as you wrongly state, otherwise the carpet would come off, but engaging the carpet backing onto the pins!
You fancy wrapping my christmas presents this year fellas?
🤣👍🏼👍🏼🙏🏼
👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
😊😊
Nice informative video…my carpet fitter mate uses gripper over riser method and it looks lots neater imo. My only criticism is grippers should never be nailed onto risers only screwed, as the hammering can cause the riser to come off at the back of the tread and they’re a nightmare to fix 👍🏼
Didnt they use a maestri gun for it all? Cba to go back and check
Very useful thank you for sharing!
Out of interest what was wrong with the underlay type used? What do you recommend instead?
There all different grades that all 😁 cloud 9 is a great underlay to use
Stairs look good, but if there's a lip they should be upholstered. That's why the lip was put on the raw wood by the builder in the first place
This is uk nearly all house have waterful stairs here 🙌
Nice job well explained, but please wear pads, your knees will thank you in 30 years. Now retired but was doing remedials for a short period and some of the work you see turned out in new houses is more shocking than ever.
Thanks John 😊
Agree
Great vids. I feel like I may actually be able to fit my own stair carpets now. Just out of interest, the carpet I’ve got is all off cuts (same carpet) so there’s plenty. Is this going to affect it in any way ? (Never fitted carpet before) 😂😂
No this would be fine done it plenty of time 🙌🙌🔥
I'm new to the industry and appreciate these tips, but from what I've seen with fitters I've been out with they're all way too busy to be putting this amount of time into it, even though this is slower to help people, thank for the tips, and for what it's worth that's not crap😂
With time comes speed mate 😁 and Yh we slow down by about 100x for videos 🤣 👌🏼
@@homeimprovements well I appreciate any help starting out, I'll keep watching, thanks.
Only put grippers on stair riser on winders? Or would this make a good finish on straight stairs aswel?
Great video again boys. Much appreciated
Only really need it on winders and obstacles like newel posts etc but I have used it on straights and works great 😊
Better not to put gripper up the rise of the step imo the more gripper you use the more likely you will be to put the back of the step through
boxline
So what are you guys charge for one star?
I’m totally surprised you put it on the riser over the stair. I’ve never seen that in my life and I’ve installed fly for 40 years.
What Maestri staple gun have you got? ME606, ME4000
Both but the 4000 is the one we use daily better gun imo 😁👍🏼
So what is the benefit of going up vs. going down the stairs??? Cuz I swear I heard before in a diff vid y'all did that the pros normally go up and is better for some reason but harder to do as a diy'er?? Maybe I heard wrong but still I would like to know if there is a benefit for one way or another. Thxs
We can fit both ways, the bottom up is a lot harder and the difference is minimal, that’s why we teach this way 😊😉
How do you guys manage to get the staple gun in on the risers when the winder is awkward and unreachable?
Sometimes you are unable to get the pin gun in so leave ungrippered and fold and tuck your carpet in 👍🏻
Is it possible to lay carpet on a concrete staircase?
It is 😊😊😊
Do you have video? How is it working? Or give some advice please 🙏
A good adhesive like flexi fix stick gripper first then standard steps for the rest 😊😊
How much jobs do yous get through in a day out of curiosity?
When we used to fit 1 - 27 all depends on the job 👌🏼😊
Brad it's Brad here remember I met u at Sam's lockup looks pukka mate do u really gripper the sides
How you doing bro yeah mate the finish is day and night to a fold. The thing Is understand is that we don’t get paid enough for stairs and landing. That’s why fold is a lot quicker. It’s about time we put our foot down and know our worth bro 🙌🙌charge more
Couldn't believe it when I see it was u lot u still see sam
Add my personal insta or Facebook bro Bradley o’riordan we chat there mate 🙌🙌🔥
loving the videos but your killing me you sound like michael caine pmsl
🤣🤣 your only supposed to blow the bloody doors off
Funny UK accent!😂😂😂
Excellent
Thank you so much 😀
