Before we quote a lvt job in Blackfen
- Subfloor flatness
LVT shows every bump — 1930s bay-fronted semis subfloors in Blackfen 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 Blackfen hallways that means front-door to kitchen.
Bottom line: upgrade the Blackfen developer floor before the furniture arrives — much less hassle.
