SPC stairs flooring in Sidcup
Fitting SPC in a Sidcup 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 Sidcup 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. SPC 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. 1930s pine boards over joists — usually need a 6mm ply overlay before LVT or vinyl.

SPC in a Sidcup stairs — common questions
Honest answer — it can be done, but it's not the default. For a stairs, we'd normally recommend carpet or wool carpet. If you want SPC anyway, we'll explain the trade-offs before ordering.
A typical Sidcup stairs is one working day for the install, plus a separate morning if subfloor screed is needed. We'll confirm at the site visit.
Sometimes yes, sometimes not — most Sidcup 1930s bay-fronted semis have either original floorboards or a solid screed underneath. We check moisture and level as part of the survey and quote any prep separately.
Both. We supply and fit as standard (best price, one warranty), but plenty of Sidcup customers ask us to fit SPC they've bought themselves. We're happy to do that on a per-m² fitting-only rate.
