Concrete floor levelling in West Wickham
LVT and laminate telegraph every bump in a subfloor. Older West Wickham 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.

LVT and laminate telegraph every bump in a subfloor. Older West Wickham 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.
1930s detached homes here often have herringbone parquet under the carpet — inspected first.

- Fibre-reinforced screeds for cracked slabs

Three things that decide a subfloor prep fit in West Wickham
- Stair nosings
Older West Wickham stairs often have shallow treads — we re-cut grippers rather than force a standard kit.
- Doorway transitions
Most 1930s detached homes 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 West Wickham bedrooms; 10mm PU on stairs to stop bounce.
