Subfloor Prep in Kidbrooke

What subfloor prep in Kidbrooke actually involves

We fit subfloor prep across Kidbrooke — predominantly Berkeley Homes new-builds within roughly 1.5 miles of Blackheath. Grey-tone LVT plank in the new townhouses; twist carpet in the semis.

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.

Kidbrooke sits between Blackheath and Eltham, so we frequently combine jobs here with work in Blackheath (~1.5 mi) and Eltham (~2 mi).
