What subfloor prep in Bexley actually involves
Our Bexley subfloor prep service is suitable for homeowner enquiries. Most sites are reachable via the A2 and Old Bexley Lane.
Every quality floor starts with a flat, sound subfloor. We lay 6mm or 9mm ply over uneven floorboards and apply self-levelling latex over concrete to give LVT, vinyl and laminate the perfect base to sit on.
We regularly work in Sidcup (~2 mi), Bexleyheath (~2 mi), Dartford (~3 mi), Crayford (~2.5 mi) on the same trip — anything within roughly 5 miles of Bexley is part of our standard run.
Subfloor Prep for victorian cottages
Most victorian cottages in Bexley share the same quirks — we know what the subfloor will throw up before we lift the old floor.
Latex screed is rarely 'optional' under LVT — under-prep is the single biggest reason floors fail early.
Best for: Any room before LVT, vinyl or thin-plank laminate.

Bexley subfloor prep — the details that matter
Older Bexley stairs often have shallow treads — we re-cut grippers rather than force a standard kit.
Most victorian cottages doorways here need a bevelled bar rather than a Z-bar to clear the carpet next door.
8mm crumb is the usual call for Bexley bedrooms; 10mm PU on stairs to stop bounce.
