What we check first on a Bexleyheath lvt job
- Subfloor flatness
LVT shows every bump — large 1930s and 1950s semis subfloors in Bexleyheath 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 Bexleyheath hallways that means front-door to kitchen.

New Build Flooring in Bexleyheath — common questions
Yes — best time. We can go in the day after handover, finish before removals, and the floor gets no scuff marks.
Often yes. We use a calcium carbide meter on the visit — if it's over 2% CM we'll recommend waiting or applying a moisture barrier.
Only the ranges rated for it — max 27°C surface, tog ≤1.5. We only quote UFH-approved LVT for these homes.
We'd advise fitting kitchen last on LVT — that way you can pull the fridge/oven without lifting planks in the future.
