With some persuasion you may be able to get the stair carpet under matching items. It often depends on whether there is a "visible break" such as gripper bars at doorways or even if you can see the carpet through glazed internal doors. Again, talk to your loss adjuster. They are used to this kind of situation.

We frequently used to have what we termed the "bouncing paint pot" claims where a dropped tin of paint on the landing managed, apparently, to have damaged carpet to the landing, stairs, hall, kitchen and lounge. Often cleverly around doors but avoiding any furniture. Also the "clumsy cat" claims when paint was similarly walked throughout the house by said feline (presumably whilst carrying paint pot so paws would never run dry.). Not that working in insurance made me cynical you understand.

Reminds me of when I was working in an insurance office and checking forms were fully filled in. A customer came in once and found me laughing so hard they were genuinely worried, even shouted for my colleagues, to whom I showed the form and then they started laughing too, I managed to recover enough to serve the customer and send her on her way and had to say I could not tell her why I was laughing. A customer had sent in a motor claim form genuinely saying that a lamp post must have jumped out in front of him because there is no way he could have driven into it and knocked it clear over (writing off the car) if it had been there when he was driving along the path to avoid the traffic!!!

Somehow doesn't seem quite so funny now, but we got some really ridiculous claims and they had to actually write them on the forms back then :eek:

Mhoc how fab did she look :A

So beautiful - she looks so blooming

I am going across to the other side when I can get myself out of bed.

Another distrubed night, I kep thinking of vital items to add to the packing pile - it was like a crackers treasure hunt at 2.30 in the morning :rotfl:

And then looking at the packing pile at 2.30 in the morning I thought this reminds me of past family outings - and this has to be the maddest :rotfl:

I remember my boss assessing a subsidence claim where, before leaving, he was asked to "join hands" with the family and "pray for the wellbeing of the house."
