What latex screed fitting in Thamesmead actually involves

Original 70s screed is often uneven — self-levelling latex is almost always needed for LVT.
- 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
What we check first on a Thamesmead subfloor prep job
- Stair nosings
Older Thamesmead stairs often have shallow treads — we re-cut grippers rather than force a standard kit.
- Doorway transitions
Most 1970s peabody estates 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 Thamesmead bedrooms; 10mm PU on stairs to stop bounce.

Latex Screed Fitting in Thamesmead — common questions
Sand-cement takes days to cure; latex takes hours. For a Thamesmead 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 SE28 trade.
Weeks — the screed is stable once cured. We routinely screed a Thamesmead slab and come back for the fit 5–10 days later without any surface prep.
