What flat & apartment flooring in Barnehurst actually involves

1930s pine floorboards throughout — always ply-overlaid before LVT or vinyl.
Barnehurst carpet — the details that matter
- Stair nosings
Older Barnehurst stairs often have shallow treads — we re-cut grippers rather than force a standard kit.
- Doorway transitions
Most 1930s bay-fronted semis 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 Barnehurst bedrooms; 10mm PU on stairs to stop bounce.
- Acoustic underlay to meet leasehold sound-transfer rules
- Concierge-friendly access — we book delivery windows
- LVT with acoustic backing where allowed by the lease
- Whole-flat carpet turnarounds in under a day
In short — flat flooring in Barnehurst with acoustic underlay from £20/m² fitted, meeting leasehold rules.
