Before we quote a lvt job in Erith
- Subfloor flatness
LVT shows every bump — victorian and post-war terraces subfloors in Erith 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.

Plank run follows the longest sightline; in narrow Erith hallways that means front-door to kitchen.

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.
