- Dartford subfloor reality
New-build estates use screed slabs straight from the developer — usually LVT-ready.
- Pattern direction
Plank run follows the longest sightline; in narrow Dartford hallways that means front-door to kitchen.
- Door undercut
We trim doors on the day so they swing cleanly over glue-down LVT — no scraping, no callbacks.
Bottom line: a UFH floor is only as good as the plank and underlay above it. We spec both for your Dartford system.
