Subfloor Prep in Catford

What subfloor prep in Catford actually involves

We fit subfloor prep across Catford — predominantly Edwardian terraces within roughly 1.5 miles of Hither Green. Landlord-spec stain-resist nylon carpet; laminate for owner-occupier budgets.

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.

Catford sits between Lewisham and Beckenham, so we frequently combine jobs here with work in Hither Green (~1.5 mi) and Lee (~2 mi).

Catford subfloor prep — the details that matter

Older Catford stairs often have shallow treads — we re-cut grippers rather than force a standard kit.

Most edwardian terraces doorways here need a bevelled bar rather than a Z-bar to clear the carpet next door.

Underlay choice
