Erith FAQs

Self-Levelling Screed in Erith — common questions

Do all LVT installs need screed in Erith?

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

How long until I can walk on it?

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

Can you screed over old tiles in Erith?

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

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 Erith we almost always use latex.
