Bexleyheath subfloor prep — the details that matter

  • Bexleyheath subfloor reality

    1950s semis usually have chipboard upstairs — checked for squeaks and re-screwed first.

  • Underlay choice

    8mm crumb is the usual call for Bexleyheath bedrooms; 10mm PU on stairs to stop bounce.

  • Doorway transitions

    Most large 1930s and 1950s semis doorways here need a bevelled bar rather than a Z-bar to clear the carpet next door.

Bexleyheath FAQs

Self-Levelling Screed in Bexleyheath — common questions

What's the difference between latex screed and traditional sand-cement?

Latex sets in hours and pours flat; sand-cement takes days and needs tamping. For LVT in Bexleyheath we almost always use latex.

Can you screed over old tiles in Bexleyheath?

Sometimes — we'd need to prime them with a specific bond primer first. Often easier to lift tiles and screed the bare subfloor.

How long until I can walk on it?

4–6 hours typically. LVT can usually be laid the next morning.

Do all LVT installs need screed in Bexleyheath?

Most large 1930s and 1950s semis kitchens and hallways do. We confirm at the visit — sometimes a plywood overlay is the better call instead.
