What we check first on a Bickley lvt job

Suspended timber over deep voids — extra noggins added before glue-down LVT.
- Pattern direction
Plank run follows the longest sightline; in narrow Bickley hallways that means front-door to kitchen.
- Door undercut
We trim doors on the day so they swing cleanly over glue-down LVT — no scraping, no callbacks.
- 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

New Build Flooring in Bickley — 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.
