Before we quote a lvt job in Greenwich
- Subfloor flatness
LVT shows every bump — georgian and victorian period homes subfloors in Greenwich 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.
