Eltham lvt plank repair and replacement
The right answer for a Eltham floor depends on condition, room use and access—not just appearance.

If a durable local repair is not realistic, we explain the smallest sensible replacement area before quoting. The visit covers SE9 and nearby neighbourhoods listed on our Eltham area page.

What we check first on a Eltham lvt job
- Subfloor flatness
LVT shows every bump — edwardian terraces subfloors in Eltham 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 Eltham hallways that means front-door to kitchen.
- Damage and underlying cause assessed
- Spare or matching plank availability checked
- Local repair considered first
- Replacement boundary agreed before work
For SE9 properties, the useful first step is a site survey—not guessing from a photo or covering the underlying problem.
