Whoever produced this for you is awesome. And you’re awesome for letting them be creative. Staple to the beat of the drum! Hell yeah!

Agreed with comment that this video really well produced and edited! Great instructions, excellent filing, edits and use of sound and music.

I have been wanting to replace my >20-year old runner for a long time, but always afraid of the complexity of the job until I watched this video. I will get on it right away. Thanks for the great work.

This couldn’t have come at a better time. I’m just about to embark on doing our stairs. Thank you for a great video and clear instructions. 😊

Followed this last night and had it done in a couple hours! Amazing video thank you! Extra credit for the synced beat to the nails going in 🔥

I love how the staple gun rhymes with the music. Very creative 👏

Hello, excellent video! I was wondering what size staples you used please?

What a great video, simple and artistic with the beat to

Great video!! We love the timing!

Have you used carpet tape on all the risers or just the top and bottom?

[avriljones]

Can’t wait to do our stairs now - thank you! But what do you do at the top if you don’t want carpet on the upstairs hall and landing?

[kathrynsanders]

How has the carpet on the stair landing been done? It seems to be the same colour and material as the runner? Is this just many runners joined together?

Great video - I have bought the runner featured here and will be following the video shortly. Do you have another video for stairs that turn? Can I use the same runner?

[yocoffee]

Can share how to do the same style for the corners ?

[nickdalyart]

Great vid. Where can I find this specific runner on your website?

[patlaverty]

Is this carpet available at B&Q now?

[willardarmbruster]

Does using more than one runner make it easier to keep straight? I can get one runner to cover all 16 steps? Bad idea?

Is it recommended to have gripper rods too when adding underlay?
