Original pine boards over joists — same story as neighbouring Sidcup, so ply overlay before LVT is the norm.
- Pattern direction
Plank run follows the longest sightline; in narrow New Eltham 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
Bottom line: upgrade the New Eltham developer floor before the furniture arrives — much less hassle.
