Stairs wear differently to flat floor space because every step gets the same foot traffic pushed into a narrow strip, with the front edge of each tread, called the nosing, taking the most punishment. In Chermside homes with carpeted stairs, this edge is usually the first place to show wear or discolouring, well before the rest of the run looks tired. The crew we book pays particular attention to this section rather than treating the stairs like one long flat surface.
Runners and fully carpeted stairs are both booked, and the approach differs slightly for each. A runner needs the exposed timber or tiled edges either side kept dry and protected, while a fully carpeted staircase needs the join where each step meets the riser worked carefully so grit does not stay packed into the corner. For a Chermside household with a narrow stairwell, the crew will also check that no water pools on a step, since a staircase can be trickier to dry evenly than an open room.
Handrails and skirting along the stairs are wiped down where needed so the finished job looks consistent from the highest step to the lowest. Because stairs get walked on constantly, the crew will talk through a plan for using them carefully while the carpet dries, rather than closing the whole staircase off for the day.
