Screed and prep across SE28
Prep-only levelling for other fitters and builders across SE28 — we screed, moisture-test and hand back a level, dry slab ready for whatever floor they're laying.
What concrete floor levelling in Thamesmead actually involves
Prep-only levelling for other fitters and builders across SE28 — we screed, moisture-test and hand back a level, dry slab ready for whatever floor they're laying.
Original 70s screed is often uneven — self-levelling latex is almost always needed for LVT.
What we check first on a Thamesmead subfloor prep job
- Stair nosings
Older Thamesmead stairs often have shallow treads — we re-cut grippers rather than force a standard kit.
- Doorway transitions
Most 1970s peabody estates 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 Thamesmead 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 Thamesmead from £18/m², latex screed to 3mm/m² tolerance.

3–15mm typical. Above 15mm we specify fibre-reinforced or a specialist deep-pour screed. Most Thamesmead residential slabs are inside the standard range.
Latex screed is walk-on in 3–4 hours, floor-fit ready in 24 hours. Standard timing on every Southmere prep-and-fit we do.
Yes — every SE28 slab gets a hygrometer test before we screed. If moisture is above 75% RH we recommend a DPM before any decorative floor goes down.
Yes — a lot of our screeding is for other fitters and small builders across Thamesmead. We hand back a level, dry slab and step out.
