LVT stairs flooring in Mottingham
Fitting LVT in a Mottingham stairs isn't a like-for-like swap — it's the busiest square-metre in any home, so we plan around neat bullnose or square nosings. Most Mottingham homes we visit are 1920s cottage-estate terraces, and the subfloor beneath the old stairs floor is rarely ready to receive a new one straight away. 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. Cottage estates often have thin chipboard upstairs — checked for deflection before laying laminate or LVT.
