Flood damage flooring in Thamesmead
A Thamesmead flood — burst pipe, dishwasher failure, upstairs bath overflow — ruins whatever's on the floor and often the subfloor beneath it. We uplift, dispose, moisture-test the substrate and only re-fit when the subfloor is genuinely dry.
What flood damage flooring in Thamesmead actually involves
A Thamesmead flood — burst pipe, dishwasher failure, upstairs bath overflow — ruins whatever's on the floor and often the subfloor beneath it. We uplift, dispose, moisture-test the substrate and only re-fit when the subfloor is genuinely dry.
Original 70s screed is often uneven — self-levelling latex is almost always needed for LVT.
Thamesmead vinyl — the details that matter
- Sheet seams
Sheet vinyl in a typical Thamesmead kitchen is usually a single drop — no seam, no water-ingress risk.
- Subfloor
On older 1970s peabody estates we overlay with ply before laying vinyl so the boards underneath don't telegraph through.
- Coving
For bathrooms we can cove the vinyl up the wall 100mm to seal the floor properly.
- Old flooring uplifted and disposed as part of the claim
- Subfloor moisture-tested before re-fit
- Insurance claim direct-invoicing accepted
- Waterproof replacement flooring specified
In short — flood damage flooring in Thamesmead from £26/m² fitted, insurance-friendly and waterproof-replacement spec.
