Plumstead lvt — the details that matter
- Subfloor flatness
LVT shows every bump — victorian and edwardian terraces subfloors in Plumstead 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.

Plank run follows the longest sightline; in narrow Plumstead hallways that means front-door to kitchen.
Bottom line: get the plank line right and the victorian and edwardian terraces lounge floor looks built-in for 15 years.
