What new build flooring in Thamesmead actually involves
If your new build in SE28 has underfloor heating we only spec LVT with the correct tog rating — anything else voids the UFH warranty. We'll confirm the range on the quote.
Original 70s screed is often uneven — self-levelling latex is almost always needed for LVT.
Thamesmead lvt — the details that matter
- Subfloor flatness
LVT shows every bump — 1970s peabody estates subfloors in Thamesmead 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 Thamesmead hallways that means front-door to kitchen.
- 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 Thamesmead developer floor before the furniture arrives — much less hassle.

New Build Flooring in Thamesmead — 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.
