Absolutely fabulous channel. Great for DIYers sch as myself. I'm 79 and with not a lot of available cash so your series on carpeting stairs was of great use to me. 3 floors with 6 half landings and two sets of winders later all done (apart from the bottom bullnose step which I will complete tomorrow). Bought all I needed online including carpet, underlay and tools and saved £700! Thank you so much! Regards for the future and a Merry Christmas to all of you! Dave F.👍👍👍

As a floorlayer on 9 years I can honestly say I’ve never touched traditional carpet or any staircases in carpet , this video helped me complete a job I was concerned I couldn’t finish! Thanks alot

[@homeimprovements]

nice one mate appreciate it

[@sascofiasco-Ianf180]

Must admit, as an ex fitter who started 40 years ago, this way is very neat, when I was taught there was no glue or staples, all inch roundhead wood pins, 👍🏻

[@mubarek09041985]

You guys are great teachers. Much appreciated.

[@homeimprovements]

Thank you too!

[@daleburton3591]

Thanks for an excellent video and being brilliantly informative. I saw your videos 10 months ago. They provided great instruction on how to carpet a stair case. I started my staircase this weekend. Thanks to your many vids on carpet laying the results I have achieved are very good. That is thanks to you guys. Keep up the great work and humour.

[@homeimprovements]

Thanks for the comment 🙌🙌

Fantastic video... just helped me so much. We have laminate flooring... i was putting carpet on the steps and laminate on the risers.... but it looked awful on the bull nose. So after watching this video I gave it a go and I am very happy with the results... no perfect but the family will never notice. Thanks alot for the help.

[@gwynmorris7199]

Many thanks Guys. Very helpful.

[@786manor1]

Thank you for showing how to do this. Came across your video by accident, but need to do this on my step. Very good way of explaining the way to fit that step. I did it not perfect but will do. Thank you again.

I’ve been in the trade for a long time. You can teach an old dog new tricks. I do all my bullnoses like this now. Works great specially in new builds with nosings not deep enough to allow you to cut net and fit cap and band 👍

[@patrickgarrett3814]

Looks good. Best way for me is do the kick plate separate than the tread.

[@richardlangford2658]

Quick question. I see you cap and banded the bottom step. Why not do the same to the rest of them so they all match?

[@bertiescunsbutch9323]

Very neat job, you must have worked with carpet fitters if you are not one.

You appeared on my FB feed. No idea why I am watching this but it's fascinating and addictive. You made an excellent job. How long did you have to train for to be able to do this so well?

[@homeimprovements]

Thanks we appreciate it and few years on the tools I’d say before you can go off on your own 😊😊😊

[@bradlewzey3567]

Nice job but it's quicker to just cap and band it you've got a nice lip to play with on this job

[@GaryInHell]

This exactly how basement steps are only 5 steps before the bottom are also exposed on the sides. Trying to convince my wife to just get rid of the carpet stairs but she won’t budge. I feel I can do the floor myself but these curved steps are another issue

[@chriseverett1142]

What size staples do you use

[@homeimprovements]

We use 18-22mm 👍🏻

[@julianasouza3945]

Excelente. Excelentíssimo.

[@paul_yt2254]

You should do the bullnose first and stretch away before finishing the step.

[@paul_yt2254]

I commented too soon.......you did the bullnose wrong aswell. 🤦‍♂️💩💩💩

[@homeimprovements]

This method is completely fine, yes there is many method to a bullnose

Come on there is many methods

Out of curiosity why not do every step with the wrapped bulllnose look instead of waterfall??

[@homeimprovements]

Just common practise in the uk not sure why 😊

[@Jayjay-ji7ty]

@@homeimprovements in Canada we rarely do waterfall unless steps have no bull nose... or we add a nose

When you split the riser and put the knife under the corner of the nose just cut straight and it wraps around perfect

Or you can cap it and band it! Tread first then a one piece band for the riser! 10min most!

This is much faster,you have to bare in mind you have to talk a lot

You should do a fitting of a runner on straight stair and winder, you can cone and do mine if you like 🤣

[@Kirsty178]

The carpet on the floor. Do you put gripper on the floor at the start of the steps. Do you have to cut up a gripper on the floor so you can shape it to the step.

[@homeimprovements]

Thanks for your comment, yes put gripper on the floor. We will try and get a video done to cover this for you

I used to wear jeans like that as a young man carpet fitting, now I’m walking like I’ve lost my horse 🙁

[@antonytheolddog8626]

33 year years myself mate. My dad who taught me back in the day, said you never wear knee pads , there for wimps and you need to wear your cartlage in and flatten your knee caps.. Over 10 years I did that, until snickers pants came around.. The absolute bastard was so full of it...😂 50 odd now and I'm walking like John Wayne too mate.. But I have a pair of pro knees that help take the strain.. Keep the faith brother's..😎🤟

Hi guys What size staples do you use and do the staples go into the top part of the stair? The tread?

[@homeimprovements]

we are using to 18 mm staple 🙌🙌

[@eh2179]

Just had our staircase re-carpeted and noticed each step had a ‘nose’ and wanted carpet wrapped around each one. Carpet fitter wasn’t too happy but did it for us for £70 extra on top of regular fitting price (from Tapi Carpets in the UK). It looks fantastic! He told us it’s called Hollywood style and yes, popular in the US but not in the UK. We love our new stair carpet!

[@homeimprovements]

Correct and yep standard to charge as it’s more time consuming 😊😊

[@umranhu]

Id say 95% of carpet fitters either havnt a clue how to do this or just cut corners and do botch job. Job well done that

[@itellyouwhy6957]

mark the bullnose with a pencil. screw the stair off and use the actual stair as your template. Saves all the faffing around.

[@Fake-moon-landing.]

To think carpet fitters are on about £3 m2. That bullnose only cost about £1.50 to be fitted....

[@homeimprovements]

£5 plus these days but stairs are not done to the m2 set price £150 too much work and time 😊👌🏼

$9.15/sq for me and then id charge about 25 for the bullnose as well
