What shop & retail flooring in Abbey Wood actually involves
A SE2 boutique we fit last year does 200 heels a day across the same 25m². Three years in the LVT hasn't marked. Wrong wear layer would have failed in six months.
New-build screed slabs are LVT-ready straight from the developer; council-era boards need ply.
Abbey Wood lvt — the details that matter
- Subfloor flatness
LVT shows every bump — post-2018 new-build apartments subfloors in Abbey Wood almost always need ply or self-levelling screed first.
- Door undercut
We trim doors on the day so they swing cleanly over glue-down LVT — no scraping, no callbacks.
- Pattern direction
Plank run follows the longest sightline; in narrow Abbey Wood hallways that means front-door to kitchen.
- AC5-rated LVT that survives daily trolleys and heels
- Overnight and Sunday fits so you don't lose trading days
- Coloured door bars and threshold strips to match brand
- Full disposal of old flooring in the same visit
In short — shop and retail flooring in Abbey Wood from £28/m² fitted, out-of-hours as standard.

AC5-rated LVT is tested for exactly that — commercial retail with heels. Cheaper AC3 LVT will pit within a season on a Abbey Wood boutique.
We hold sample decks from Karndean, Amtico, Moduleo and Polyflor — over 200 finishes across the four. Something will match your SE2 shop palette.
No — we work around trading. Old floor out overnight, prep, adhesive, LVT laid, edges trimmed, ready for the 9am open.
