Screed and prep across SE18
A Plumstead Common 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.

What we check first on a Plumstead subfloor prep job
- Stair nosings
Older Plumstead stairs often have shallow treads — we re-cut grippers rather than force a standard kit.
- Doorway transitions
Most victorian and 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 Plumstead bedrooms; 10mm PU on stairs to stop bounce.
