Concrete floor levelling in Crayford
LVT and laminate telegraph every bump in a subfloor. Older Crayford 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.

Three things that decide a subfloor prep fit in Crayford
- Crayford subfloor reality
Converted industrial flats often have polished concrete — checked for moisture before LVT.
- Underlay choice
8mm crumb is the usual call for Crayford bedrooms; 10mm PU on stairs to stop bounce.

Bottom line: no decorative floor hides an unlevel slab. Level first, fit second.
