What new build flooring in Barnehurst actually involves

1930s pine floorboards throughout — always ply-overlaid before LVT or vinyl.
Three things that decide a lvt fit in Barnehurst
- Subfloor flatness
LVT shows every bump — 1930s bay-fronted semis subfloors in Barnehurst 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 Barnehurst hallways that means front-door to kitchen.
- Fit around developer handover snags — we'll wait for keys
- Underfloor-heating-compatible LVT ranges recommended
- Screed on new slabs where the developer's finish is uneven
- Warranty-safe methods for shared-ownership properties
Bottom line: upgrade the Barnehurst developer floor before the furniture arrives — much less hassle.

Only the ranges rated for it — max 27°C surface, tog ≤1.5. We only quote UFH-approved LVT for these homes.
