Bexley subfloor prep — the details that matter
- Stair nosings
Older Bexley stairs often have shallow treads — we re-cut grippers rather than force a standard kit.
- Doorway transitions
Most victorian cottages doorways here need a bevelled bar rather than a Z-bar to clear the carpet next door.
- Underlay choice
8mm crumb is the usual call for Bexley bedrooms; 10mm PU on stairs to stop bounce.
