Subfloor Prep for large 1930s and 1950s semis

Most large 1930s and 1950s semis in Bexleyheath share the same quirks — we know what the subfloor will throw up before we lift the old floor.

Subfloor Prep in Bexleyheath

What subfloor prep in Bexleyheath actually involves

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.

Bexleyheath sits between Welling and Crayford, so we frequently combine jobs here with work in Welling (~2 mi) and Bexley (~2 mi).
