Subfloor Prep in Chislehurst

What subfloor prep in Chislehurst actually involves

We fit subfloor prep across Chislehurst — predominantly Victorian and Edwardian detached homes within roughly 3 miles of Sidcup. Pure wool stripe runners; restored or new herringbone LVT in receptions.

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.

Chislehurst sits between Sidcup and Bromley, so we frequently combine jobs here with work in Sidcup (~3 mi) and Bromley (~2.5 mi).
