Before we quote a subfloor prep job in Barnehurst
- Stair nosings
Older Barnehurst stairs often have shallow treads — we re-cut grippers rather than force a standard kit.
- Doorway transitions
Most 1930s bay-fronted semis doorways here need a bevelled bar rather than a Z-bar to clear the carpet next door.
- Underlay choice
8mm crumb is the usual call for Barnehurst bedrooms; 10mm PU on stairs to stop bounce.
- Latex screed for 3–15mm level changes
- Fibre-reinforced screeds for cracked slabs
- Full moisture testing before pour
- Ready for LVT, laminate, vinyl or wood
In short — concrete floor levelling in Barnehurst from £18/m², latex screed to 3mm/m² tolerance.
