Dartford FAQs

Self-Levelling Screed in Dartford — 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 Dartford we almost always use latex.

Can you screed over old tiles in Dartford?

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 Dartford?

Most victorian terraces kitchens and hallways do. We confirm at the visit — sometimes a plywood overlay is the better call instead.
