Lee lounges — LVT, laminate or carpet, done properly

- Subfloor flatness
LVT shows every bump — victorian terraces subfloors in Lee 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.

Bottom line: get the plank line right and the victorian terraces lounge floor looks built-in for 15 years.
