What we check first on a Catford lvt job
- Subfloor flatness
LVT shows every bump — edwardian terraces subfloors in Catford almost always need ply or self-levelling screed first.
- Door undercut
We trim doors on the day so they swing cleanly over glue-down LVT — no scraping, no callbacks.
- Pattern direction
Plank run follows the longest sightline; in narrow Catford hallways that means front-door to kitchen.
- Glue-down LVT — sealed at every edge
- Coved up the wall 100mm where required
- Stone or wood look — Amtico, Karndean, Polyflor
- Sealed under the toilet pan and bath foot
Bottom line: warmer than tile, half the install time, no grout to scrub. Standard in Catford refits.

Yes — we cut around the pan and seal with bathroom-grade silicone so water can't get underneath.
On request — popular in Catford rentals and family bathrooms. We cove 100mm up the wall and finish with a capping strip.
Most bathroom LVT we fit in Catford is R10/R11 rated — fine when wet without feeling rough underfoot.
Sometimes — we'd skim and prime first. Often easier and cheaper to lift the tiles and start fresh, depending on the edwardian terraces subfloor.
