Replacing top lip of stair.

Posted by Laura , on Sun 19 Oct 2014 05:27pm

As the question says really. The previous owners have been doing some interesting DIY. I want to carpet my upstairs hallway and stairs. The carpet layers have advised that I'll need to get the lip of the top stair replaced before they can lay the carpet.

Hi Laura it sounds like you need to replace the nosing on the tread. These are normally rounded off so its a matter of shaping a section of timber and glueing and screwing it to the tread, quite straight forward really. Ed
