What subfloor prep in Hayes actually involves
Subfloor Prep in Hayes usually means one of two jobs: Wool twist carpet in the detached homes; LVT plank in kitchen-diners.. We cover the whole of BR2 from our base 28 minutes from our base.
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.
We regularly work in West Wickham (~2 mi), Bromley (~2 mi), Beckenham (~3 mi) on the same trip — anything within roughly 5 miles of Hayes is part of our standard run.

Subfloor Prep in Hayes — common questions
Before we quote a subfloor prep job in Hayes
Older Hayes stairs often have shallow treads — we re-cut grippers rather than force a standard kit.
Most 1930s detached homes doorways here need a bevelled bar rather than a Z-bar to clear the carpet next door.
8mm crumb is the usual call for Hayes bedrooms; 10mm PU on stairs to stop bounce.
