Before we quote a subfloor prep job in Barnehurst
- 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.
"Prep handover with moisture cert — the other fitter said it was the cleanest job he'd inherited." — DA7 trade

Latex Screed Fitting in Barnehurst — common questions

Yes — where the moisture test shows above 75% RH we install a liquid DPM before the screed. Standard on Mayplace ground-floor slabs.

Weeks — the screed is stable once cured. We routinely screed a Barnehurst slab and come back for the fit 5–10 days later without any surface prep.
