What subfloor prep in Eltham actually involves
If you're looking for subfloor prep in Eltham, the relevant detail is the housing stock — edwardian terraces — and the subfloor that goes with it. Span estates often have unusual screed levels — we'll moisture-test before quoting 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.
Nearby coverage includes Sidcup (~2.5 mi), Blackfen (~2 mi), Welling (~2 mi), Greenwich (~4 mi), all reachable via the A2 and South Circular.
Subfloor Prep for edwardian terraces
Most edwardian terraces in Eltham 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.

Eltham subfloor prep — the details that matter
Older Eltham 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.
8mm crumb is the usual call for Eltham bedrooms; 10mm PU on stairs to stop bounce.
