Greenwich doorway threshold and floor transitions
Poorly planned transitions create trip edges, loose bars and awkward height changes between rooms. In Greenwich, the survey starts with the existing floor and the georgian and victorian period homes common locally, so the recommendation is based on the actual substrate rather than a generic product list. We measure both finished floor heights, check door clearance and select a profile suited to the two materials being joined.

- Stairs
Stair nosings glued and pinned — we don't recommend laminate for narrow Victorian flights.
- Underlay & DPM
Ground floors in Greenwich georgian and victorian period homes usually need a combined underlay/DPM, not plain foam.
For SE10/SE3 properties, the useful first step is a site survey—not guessing from a photo or covering the underlying problem.

Doorway Threshold & Floor Transitions in Greenwich — common questions
Yes. We inspect the existing floor, room use and access across SE10/SE3, then set out the recommended preparation and finish in a written quote.
Photos are useful for an initial conversation, but floor levels, moisture, movement and hidden damage need an on-site check before the final quotation.
Yes. The transition is designed with the floor build-up, not added as an afterthought once both sides are complete. The quote separates preparation from the chosen finish so the scope is clear.
Yes. We measure both finished floor heights, check door clearance and select a profile suited to the two materials being joined. Where both are needed, they are planned as one job rather than leaving separate trades to resolve the join.
