Plumstead lvt — the details that matter
- Subfloor flatness
LVT shows every bump — victorian and edwardian terraces subfloors in Plumstead 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 Plumstead hallways that means front-door to kitchen.

No — we work around trading. Old floor out overnight, prep, adhesive, LVT laid, edges trimmed, ready for the 9am open.
