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

Before we quote a subfloor prep job in Hayes
- Stair nosings
Older Hayes stairs often have shallow treads — we re-cut grippers rather than force a standard kit.
- Doorway transitions
Most 1930s detached homes 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 Hayes bedrooms; 10mm PU on stairs to stop bounce.
Bottom line: no decorative floor hides an unlevel slab. Level first, fit second.
