What new build flooring in Welling actually involves
New builds in Welling — the developments near Bexleyheath especially — mostly hand over with cheap developer vinyl. We're usually in within a fortnight of the keys, upgrading to real LVT or carpet with the right UFH backing.
Falconwood bungalows often sit on solid concrete — minimal prep, ideal for LVT.
Three things that decide a lvt fit in Welling
- Subfloor flatness
LVT shows every bump — 1930s semis subfloors in Welling 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 Welling 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

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.
Yes — best time. We can go in the day after handover, finish before removals, and the floor gets no scuff marks.
