Cost to replace carpet on stairs and landing

Our stair carpet is about fifteen years old and threadbare on the edges of the treads. It's a standard straight staircase of thirteen steps plus a small landing. What should we budget for supply and fitting?

"I'd suggest budgeting around £700–£900. That should buy:

A durable mid-range carpet suitable for stairs.
Decent quality underlay (worth spending a little extra on for comfort and longevity).
Gripper rods, door bars if needed, removal of the old carpet, and professional fitting."

"As a rough guide, I’d budget around £500–£900 for supply and fitting, with higher-quality carpet costing more. If you only need labour and already have the carpet, the fitting cost would usually be much lower."

"Depends on choice of carpet. You can be as low as £350 for supply and go up in price depending on range of carpet,underlay etc"
