Stairs wear differently to flat floor space because every step carries the same foot traffic squeezed into a narrow strip, with the front edge of each tread, called the nosing, taking the most punishment. In Nundah homes with carpeted stairs, this edge is usually the first place to show wear or discolouring, often well before the rest of the run looks tired. The crew we book gives this section particular attention rather than treating the staircase 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 Nundah household with a narrow stairwell, the crew also checks 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 practical plan for using them while the carpet dries, rather than closing the whole staircase off for the day.
