Stairs & landing carpet — Headwell
Stairs and landings take more foot traffic than every other floor in the house combined, which is why we treat them as a separate spec. In Headwell, our default is stair-grade 80/20 wool twist over a dense underlay — the spec that still looks tight ten years in.

Why this room, this way, in Headwell
Stairs & landing spec in Headwell isn't the same brief as in a rental turnover flat or a busy retail unit — this page is about the residential stairs & landing we fit week-in, week-out in KY12. The 1930s pebbledash semi-detached housing here means Original pine boards worth restoring is usually the first thing we flag on the survey; drafty floors needing underlay upgrade.
Our recommendation for most Headwell stairs & landing projects: 80/20 wool twist. It's the spec that hits the price/lifespan sweet-spot for this room and this housing type — but we bring samples of all three options on the survey so you can compare in your own light.
LOCAL PROOF
We run two stair-trained fitters every week — winders and bullnose are routine, not an add-on.
