New Eltham floor levelling — latex screed for a perfect base
Prep-only levelling for other fitters and builders across SE9 — we screed, moisture-test and hand back a level, dry slab ready for whatever floor they're laying.
What concrete floor levelling in New Eltham actually involves
Prep-only levelling for other fitters and builders across SE9 — we screed, moisture-test and hand back a level, dry slab ready for whatever floor they're laying.
Original pine boards over joists — same story as neighbouring Sidcup, so ply overlay before LVT is the norm.
Three things that decide a subfloor prep fit in New Eltham
- Stair nosings
Older New Eltham 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 New Eltham 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 New Eltham from £18/m², latex screed to 3mm/m² tolerance.
