What subfloor prep in Charlton actually involves
We fit subfloor prep across Charlton — predominantly Victorian village terraces within roughly 2 miles of Woolwich. Acoustic-underlay LVT plank in the riverside flats; classic twist carpet in the village terraces.
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.
Nearby coverage includes Woolwich (~2 mi), Greenwich (~1.5 mi), Blackheath (~2 mi), all reachable via the A206 and Blackwall Tunnel approach.
Subfloor Prep for victorian village terraces
Most victorian village terraces in Charlton 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.

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