Subfloor Prep for large victorian and edwardian detached
Most large victorian and edwardian detached in Bickley share the same quirks — we know what the subfloor will throw up before we lift the old floor.
What subfloor prep in Bickley actually involves
Bickley sits on the A222 with Bromley South station a short drive west, and most of our subfloor prep work here is for homeowners looking for a tidy, long-lasting subfloor prep job in large Victorian and Edwardian detached. Suspended timber over deep voids — extra noggins added before glue-down LVT.
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.
Bickley sits between Bromley and Chislehurst, so we frequently combine jobs here with work in Bromley (~1.5 mi) and Chislehurst (~2 mi).
