Subfloor Prep Flooring in Greenwich

What subfloor prep in Greenwich actually involves
We fit subfloor prep across Greenwich — predominantly Georgian and Victorian period homes within roughly 4 miles of Eltham. Herringbone LVT in Georgian hallways; carpet on the upper-floor bedrooms.
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.
Greenwich sits between Deptford and Blackheath, so we frequently combine jobs here with work in Eltham (~4 mi) and Bromley (~7 mi).
How we fit subfloor prep in Greenwich
- Step 01Assessment
Boards lifted and tested for damp, level and structural soundness.
- Step 02Ply or screed
6mm/9mm ply over timber, or self-levelling latex screed over concrete — depending on the deflection and finish required.
- Step 03Cure & check
Screed left to cure to manufacturer spec; levels rechecked with a long straight-edge.
- Step 04Hand-over for finish
Subfloor signed off ready for LVT, vinyl or laminate the following day.

Local tip: Latex screed is rarely 'optional' under LVT — under-prep is the single biggest reason floors fail early.
