What we fit
Stair Carpet Fitting Services in Birmingham
FitFloors fits stair carpet across Birmingham and the West Midlands. Stairs are more technical than room carpet — each tread and riser must be fitted individually, and the method matters for safety and appearance. We fit all stair carpet styles.
Full Stair Carpet
Carpet fitted edge to edge across the full width of each step — the most common style. We use gripper rods on every tread.
Stair Runner
A strip of carpet down the centre of the stairs with the wooden edges showing on either side. Fitted with rods or gripper strips.
Waterfall Method
Carpet runs continuously over tread and riser in one flowing piece. A simpler finish, quick to fit.
Hollywood / Cap and Band
Carpet is cut and fitted separately for each tread and riser. A neater, more tailored finish that takes longer.
The process
How Stair Carpet Fitting Works
Step 1: Measure & Quote
We count your steps, measure the tread depth and riser height, check the stair condition and give you a written quote. Stairs are priced per step — you know the exact cost before we start.

Step 2: You Buy the Carpet
Choose your stair carpet from any retailer. We advise on what to buy — pile type, width, underlay — but the carpet is yours to purchase. We fit any brand.
Step 3: We Fit It Safely
We fit gripper rods on every tread, lay the underlay, stretch and fix the carpet to each step individually. Loose stair carpet is a safety hazard — we fit it properly, every step.
Prices
Stair Carpet Fitting Cost in Birmingham
Stair carpet fitting cost in Birmingham is typically £10–£18 per step for labour only — a standard staircase of 13 steps costs roughly £130–£235 to fit. How much does it cost to carpet stairs depends on the number of steps, the fitting method you choose, and whether a landing is included.
Stairs are priced per step rather than per m² because each tread and riser must be fitted individually — it takes far more time than laying the same area of flat carpet. The Hollywood / cap and band method costs more than waterfall fitting because each piece is cut and attached separately. Prices are for labour only — carpet and underlay are supplied by you.

FAQ
Stair Carpet Fitting Questions Answered
Straight answers about stair carpet fitting costs, methods and the areas we cover.
Stair carpet fitting in Birmingham costs roughly £10–£18 per step for labour. A standard 13-step staircase costs £130–£235, depending on the fitting method. Hollywood / cap and band fitting costs more than waterfall. Adding a landing costs £60–£100 extra. Contact FitFloors for a free written quote based on your step count.
Waterfall fitting runs the carpet continuously over the tread and riser in one piece. Hollywood (cap and band) cuts each tread and riser separately for a neater, more tailored finish. Hollywood takes longer and costs more. Both methods use gripper rods on every tread. We advise which suits your staircase during the quote visit.
Stair runner fitting in Birmingham costs roughly £120–£180 for a standard 13-step staircase. A runner is a strip of carpet fitted down the centre of the stairs with the wooden edges exposed on either side. It can be fitted with gripper strips or stair rods depending on the look you want.
Yes. We fit stair carpet and landing carpet together as one job. A combined stairs and landing fit (13 steps plus up to 6m² landing) typically costs £190–£335 in labour. Doing both at once saves time and gives a consistent finish throughout. Contact FitFloors for a written quote on stairs and landing combined.
Fit-only. You buy your stair carpet from any retailer — B&Q, Carpetright, Victoria Carpets, John Lewis or anywhere else — and we fit it. We can advise on what pile type and width to buy before you purchase. No markup on materials.
A standard 13-step staircase takes 2–4 hours. Stairs plus landing takes 3–5 hours. Hollywood fitting takes longer than waterfall due to the individual cuts. We confirm exact timings when we quote. Most stair carpet jobs are done in a single morning or afternoon.
Stairs need a specific stair underlay — thinner and denser than room underlay so it doesn't compress under foot traffic. We advise on the right underlay when you ask us for a quote. You buy the underlay along with the carpet; we fit both.
