What concrete floor levelling in Catford actually involves
A Bellingham extension slab with a 15mm fall from door to skirting isn't a hard job — one pour of fibre-reinforced screed brings it flat overnight. Standard prep before we fit LVT the next day.
Bellingham estate has chipboard upstairs (post-war spec); Edwardian terraces have pine boards.
Catford subfloor prep — the details that matter
- Stair nosings
Older Catford stairs often have shallow treads — we re-cut grippers rather than force a standard kit.
- Doorway transitions
Most edwardian terraces 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 Catford 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
Bottom line: no decorative floor hides an unlevel slab. Level first, fit second.
