Slade Green floor levelling — latex screed for a perfect base
LVT and laminate telegraph every bump in a subfloor. Older Slade Green 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 Slade Green subfloor prep job
- Slade Green subfloor reality
Cottage floors often need a full ply overlay; 80s semis usually have flat chipboard.
- Underlay choice
8mm crumb is the usual call for Slade Green bedrooms; 10mm PU on stairs to stop bounce.
- Doorway transitions
Most post-war terraces doorways here need a bevelled bar rather than a Z-bar to clear the carpet next door.
Bottom line: no decorative floor hides an unlevel slab. Level first, fit second.
