Eltham subfloor prep — the details that matter
- Stair nosings
Older Eltham stairs often have shallow treads — we re-cut grippers rather than force a standard kit.
- Doorway transitions
Most edwardian terraces doorways here need a bevelled bar rather than a Z-bar to clear the carpet next door.

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