Three things that decide a subfloor prep fit in New Eltham
- Stair nosings
Older New Eltham stairs often have shallow treads — we re-cut grippers rather than force a standard kit.
- Doorway transitions
Most 1930s bay-fronted semis 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 New Eltham bedrooms; 10mm PU on stairs to stop bounce.
- Latex-based self-levelling screed for LVT and vinyl
- Most kitchens and hallways screeded in half a day
- Walkable in 4–6 hours, fittable next morning
- Old adhesive and tile removed first
