Three things that decide a subfloor prep fit in Blackfen
- Blackfen subfloor reality
Original pine floorboards everywhere — every LVT or vinyl job here gets ply'd first.
- Underlay choice
8mm crumb is the usual call for Blackfen bedrooms; 10mm PU on stairs to stop bounce.
- Doorway transitions
Most 1930s bay-fronted 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.

Latex Screed Fitting in Blackfen — common questions
Sand-cement takes days to cure; latex takes hours. For a Blackfen 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 Westwood Lane ground-floor slabs.
Yes — we hand over a level, primed, dry surface with a moisture certificate. Standard prep handover for DA15 trade.
Weeks — the screed is stable once cured. We routinely screed a Blackfen slab and come back for the fit 5–10 days later without any surface prep.
