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.
What concrete floor levelling in West Wickham actually involves
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.
- 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
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.
"Prep-only screed handover — the other fitter said it was the flattest base he'd worked on this year." — BR4 trade
Bottom line: no decorative floor hides an unlevel slab. Level first, fit second.
