What we check first on a Abbey Wood subfloor prep job
- Stair nosings
Older Abbey Wood stairs often have shallow treads — we re-cut grippers rather than force a standard kit.
- Doorway transitions
Most post-2018 new-build apartments 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 Abbey Wood bedrooms; 10mm PU on stairs to stop bounce.

Latex Screed Fitting in Abbey Wood — common questions
Sand-cement takes days to cure; latex takes hours. For a Abbey Wood retail refit or a home renovation on a schedule, latex is the only realistic option.
Yes — where the moisture test shows above 75% RH we install a liquid DPM before the screed. Standard on Southmere ground-floor slabs.
Yes — we hand over a level, primed, dry surface with a moisture certificate. Standard prep handover for SE2 trade.
Weeks — the screed is stable once cured. We routinely screed a Abbey Wood slab and come back for the fit 5–10 days later without any surface prep.
