What we check first on a Gravesend lvt job
- Subfloor flatness
LVT shows every bump — victorian terraces subfloors in Gravesend almost always need ply or self-levelling screed first.
- Door undercut
We trim doors on the day so they swing cleanly over glue-down LVT — no scraping, no callbacks.
- Pattern direction
Plank run follows the longest sightline; in narrow Gravesend hallways that means front-door to kitchen.
Bottom line: get the plank line right and the victorian terraces lounge floor looks built-in for 15 years.
