What we check first on a Charlton subfloor prep job
- Stair nosings
Older Charlton stairs often have shallow treads — we re-cut grippers rather than force a standard kit.
- Doorway transitions
Most victorian village terraces 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 Charlton bedrooms; 10mm PU on stairs to stop bounce.
Bottom line: the prep that makes Charlton LVT and vinyl floors last 15+ years.
