Hello, I would love advice re:
new carpet on the flat part of a winder looks as if it has a join across its width, 8" in from (& parallel to) the edge. Depth of tread is 22" at its deepest point. So it is pretty obvious, and visitors have remarked that it's an odd place to have a join. The company said it's not a join. But we haven't got much further than that. What can I reasonably expect to do about it ? Can they just fit one tread and if so, what about the issue of colour matching. Additional facts: The fitters wanted me to order the carpet in early, (said they couldn't guarantee being able to get it - it's not special, just cost a bit more than carpet on the upper stairs, as it is near the front door (greater traffic). Then couldn't fit it for just over a month (fitter had accident to hand, & I can well empathise), and then I had to delay fitting by 3 weeks. But obv. I don't feel I should have to pay extra
for a replacement piece, if the seam/crease was caused by standing around in their storage. Or am I being unreasonable. Surely when stored they are rolled & don't crease? I will try to attach photo to show. Thanks so much.
