Falconwood bungalows often sit on solid concrete — minimal prep, ideal for LVT.
Three things that decide a lvt fit in Welling
- Subfloor flatness
LVT shows every bump — 1930s semis subfloors in Welling 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 Welling hallways that means front-door to kitchen.
- Original floorboards protected, screwed down where squeaky
- 6mm ply overlay before LVT so plank joins don't telegraph
- Stripe runners and brass rods on Victorian stair flights
- Sympathetic transitions where flooring meets tiled hallways
In short — Victorian flooring in Welling: ply first, then LVT or carpet, with stair runners on period flights.

Victorian Property Flooring in Welling — common questions
Ply overlay (6mm marine ply, screwed) hides most subfloor variation. If a joist is failing we'll flag it — we don't hide structural issues under a new floor.
Regularly. Standard is a 27" wool runner with brass rods; we also do fully bound edges if you want a bolder line.
Yes — we cut a bespoke oak or brass threshold to sit flush with the tile edge. It looks intentional, not patched.
No — we screw squeaky boards, we don't remove them. If you ever want to expose them again, everything we lay comes back up without harming the pine.
