Welling floor levelling — latex screed for a perfect base
LVT and laminate telegraph every bump in a subfloor. Older Welling 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.

Falconwood bungalows often sit on solid concrete — minimal prep, ideal for LVT.
- Underlay choice
8mm crumb is the usual call for Welling bedrooms; 10mm PU on stairs to stop bounce.
- Doorway transitions
Most 1930s semis doorways here need a bevelled bar rather than a Z-bar to clear the carpet next door.
- 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
Bottom line: no decorative floor hides an unlevel slab. Level first, fit second.
