Herringbone LVT stairs flooring in New Eltham
Fitting Herringbone LVT in a New Eltham stairs isn't a like-for-like swap — it's the busiest square-metre in any home, so we plan around quiet footfall for the bedrooms above. Most New Eltham homes we visit are 1930s bay-fronted semis, and the subfloor beneath the old stairs floor is rarely ready to receive a new one straight away. Herringbone LVT to a stairs is a specialist install — done carefully it looks brilliant, but it's not the default choice, and we'll be honest about that on the site visit. Original pine boards over joists — same story as neighbouring Sidcup, so ply overlay before LVT is the norm.
