Three things that decide a subfloor prep fit in Lee

  • Lee subfloor reality

    Victorian terraces often have suspended timber over ventilated voids — careful nailing only.

  • Underlay choice

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

  • Doorway transitions

    Most victorian terraces doorways here need a bevelled bar rather than a Z-bar to clear the carpet next door.

Lee FAQs

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

Can you screed over old tiles in Lee?

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 Lee?

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