What subfloor prep in Blackheath actually involves
Subfloor Prep in Blackheath usually means one of two jobs: Restored parquet where possible; premium wool stripe runners on staircases; herringbone LVT in kitchens.. We cover the whole of SE3 from our base 20 minutes from our base.
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 Greenwich (~1.5 mi), Lee (~1.5 mi), Charlton (~2 mi) on the same trip — anything within roughly 5 miles of Blackheath is part of our standard run.
Subfloor Prep for georgian terraces
Most georgian terraces in Blackheath 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.
How we fit subfloor prep in Blackheath

Screed left to cure to manufacturer spec; levels rechecked with a long straight-edge.

Subfloor signed off ready for LVT, vinyl or laminate the following day.

What we check first on a Blackheath subfloor prep job
Parquet under carpet is common — always lifted carefully before quoting anything else.
8mm crumb is the usual call for Blackheath bedrooms; 10mm PU on stairs to stop bounce.
Most georgian terraces doorways here need a bevelled bar rather than a Z-bar to clear the carpet next door.
