Practical uneven floor repair across SE10/SE3
Ridges, dips and movement show through thin finishes and can stress click joints. In Greenwich, the survey starts with the existing floor and the georgian and victorian period homes common locally, so the recommendation is based on the actual substrate rather than a generic product list. The floor is checked for level and movement before deciding between local repair, plywood overlay or a compatible levelling compound.

Before we quote a subfloor prep job in Greenwich
- Stair nosings
Older Greenwich stairs often have shallow treads — we re-cut grippers rather than force a standard kit.
- Doorway transitions
Most georgian and victorian period homes 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 Greenwich bedrooms; 10mm PU on stairs to stop bounce.
- Level and movement checked
- Local repair considered before full overlay
- Threshold height planned in advance
- Compatible finish recommended after assessment
For SE10/SE3 properties, the useful first step is a site survey—not guessing from a photo or covering the underlying problem.

Uneven Floor Repair in Greenwich — common questions
Yes. We inspect the existing floor, room use and access across SE10/SE3, then set out the recommended preparation and finish in a written quote.
Photos are useful for an initial conversation, but floor levels, moisture, movement and hidden damage need an on-site check before the final quotation.
Yes. We retain sound areas where practical and specify only the preparation needed for the chosen covering. The quote separates preparation from the chosen finish so the scope is clear.
Yes. The floor is checked for level and movement before deciding between local repair, plywood overlay or a compatible levelling compound. Where both are needed, they are planned as one job rather than leaving separate trades to resolve the join.
