Concrete floor levelling in Charlton
LVT and laminate telegraph every bump in a subfloor. Older Charlton slabs and modern floating screeds both need a level base — we self-level with latex to 3mm/m² tolerance before any decorative flooring goes down.

What we check first on a Charlton subfloor prep job
- Stair nosings
Older Charlton stairs often have shallow treads — we re-cut grippers rather than force a standard kit.
- Doorway transitions
Most victorian village 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 Charlton bedrooms; 10mm PU on stairs to stop bounce.
Bottom line: no decorative floor hides an unlevel slab. Level first, fit second.
