Bexleyheath subfloor prep — the details that matter
- Bexleyheath subfloor reality
1950s semis usually have chipboard upstairs — checked for squeaks and re-screwed first.
- Underlay choice
8mm crumb is the usual call for Bexleyheath bedrooms; 10mm PU on stairs to stop bounce.
- Doorway transitions
Most large 1930s and 1950s semis doorways here need a bevelled bar rather than a Z-bar to clear the carpet next door.
- Fast-cure latex screed for tight programme schedules
- Two-part fibre screed for high-traffic slabs
- Handover moisture certificate for other fitters
- Priming and DPM included where required
Bottom line: fast-cure latex saves a day on any programme.

Yes — where the moisture test shows above 75% RH we install a liquid DPM before the screed. Standard on Upton ground-floor slabs.
Sand-cement takes days to cure; latex takes hours. For a Bexleyheath retail refit or a home renovation on a schedule, latex is the only realistic option.
