uneven floor repair in Sidcup
Ridges, dips and movement show through thin finishes and can stress click joints. In Sidcup, the survey starts with the existing floor and the 1930s bay-fronted semis 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.
